Windows Vista display properties advanced settings?

I just bought a new computer. Sadly it has Windows Vista. I am having issues with fonts being too small. Ive changed the DPI. But when I go into desktop and display settings, advanced tab, it will not let me select the font resizing in there. I need to know how to fix this.



I hope this being a 32bit software isnt the issue.



any ideas folks?Windows Vista display properties advanced settings?
If changing the DPI up to 200% magnification is still not large enough for your, then your only solution would be to change the screen resolution.





=========EDIT=============

There is no need to be rude my friend. I would love to assist you. Plese be more specific as to your problem. Were you not able locate the DPI scaler? This tool is no longer under the Advanced Display Properties, as it was in Windows XP.

HELP~I don't know what is wrong....?

My computer is doing weird things...the screen flashed and got really big(the fonts/icons/etc) then, they got really small. I changed the DPI to make the fonts larger, but it hasn't changed the screen back to normal. What do I do? What happened? My sis in law said it had something to do with Active X or a game that may have been played that caused my computer screen to display something different than before~I don't know...it was fine, until my step son was on it, and now, it is messed up. How do I fix it?

Thanks in advance! XXOHELP~I don't know what is wrong....?
Some games use lower screen resolution like 800x600.

Suppose you have a normal desktop resolution of 1024, then you start a game. The game will temporarily change the resolution to 800 to fit its display. When you exit the game it will again change the resolution back to 1024.

Suppose during the run of game, u went back to desktop somehow with game already open, u will momentarily see the desktop in 800 resolution i.e big icons.



There is nothing wrong in it.





If it happens everytime automaticall then it shows u are having low memory, try increasing ur RAM or u can increase your virtual memory.

According to what you have described it seems to be something with your screen resolution. DO this

Right click anywhere on your desktop and goto properties. Here you will see many tabs goto to the last one settings, in that tab you will see a slider that says screen resolution, You may have a very high screen resolution on. Try and reduce the resolution by moving the slider left and clicking Apply. Find the resolution that satisfies you. Hope that helps.
Get to your desktop display, and right click on an open area of it and select Properties. This will open Display Properties. Now Click on the last tab on the top... this is Settings.... You want to really change your display size. Bet its running in 1024x768. You can reduce it to 800x600. Yuck for games and sych, but easier to read text and such.
When my son plays games and that happens I just restart the computer and that clears it up. Sorry that's the only thing I know.
Try reloading your display drivers. Go to 'control panel', then 'system', then 'device manager', then click on 'monitors'. Right click on 'default monitor' or if you see your monitor listed, right click on it. Click 'update driver'. Follow the prompts from there. Restart your computer, and see if that helped. You may have a nuisance virus. Run a full anti-virus scan in safe mode, and normal mode. Good luck!

(Thanks for the hugs and kisses)
i am sorry i dont to tell you to do something and your computer get worst

How can I change an internet image to 300 DPI?

Hi Daniel



You need Photoshop or any other paint applications so that you can open your picture and resample it at 300 dpi, then save it as jpeg. Jpeg will create a high resolution but in a small size format due to its compression qualities.How can I change an internet image to 300 DPI?
if you are running vista:right click on desktop and choose personalize,look at left of screen, click on adjust font size.might be the same for yours idk

Installed a new operating system, now my screen is weird?

Hi, I just recently installed a new operating system to my Windows Vista laptop and now the screen and words are kinda blurry. The icons are a little bigger, the internet pages are weird- they're bigger than usual, and I've tried everything to fix it (changed DPI font, display settings, and everything). Can anyone help me change my screen back to how it used to be? I installed an operating system using the Operating System disc that came with the laptop. I also have the Drivers and Utilities disc as well. Which things in there should I install onto my laptop? Or do I install all of it?

Thanks so much!Installed a new operating system, now my screen is weird?
Install the whole driver disc, if there is a newer driver already loaded windows won't let you load an older driver without a bunch of warningsInstalled a new operating system, now my screen is weird?
install your video card driver..
change the resolution

start-control panel-personalize-resolutions

tinker with the different resolutions untill u get one u like
if you haven't changed the resolution already do it... idk if by what you mean by display settings you changed the resolution...idk..



use the drivers and utilities disk and see if theres anything on it like video drivers. if not look up a program that scans your computer and finds out what ur built in graphics card is and have it automatically download that for you. if that doesn't work then idk, sorry :P.

How to change dpi for two accounts?

I want to have different dpi settings for 2 accounts. when changing in ease of access the changes apply to both accounts. I can make the other settings apply differently but not dpi

I found out this if you care to read it. You cannot, as far as was able to find out, have different printer settings on the same machine at the same time.



How can you change the printer's default standard settings so that you don't need to change them each time you print a document?

Windows 2000/XP or above has the per-user printer setting and default global(or system) standard printer settings. An application is restricted to the global default printer settings. To print a document in a different way, the user has to change the settings manually for each application each time it is launched. To change the printer default settings for the currently logged-in user globally:

1.Open the Printers folder(Start %26gt; Printers and Faxes), right click on the printer, and select Printing Preferences

2.Use the Layout tab, Paper/Quality tab, and the Advanced tab to set various options such as paper size, DPI, and color mode.

3.Once you have finished changing the settings, click the Apply button.

4.Close and reopen your application for the changes to take effect.

How can I save a file at 300 dpi in Roxio Photosuite 4?

I use Roxio Photosuite 4 for my photos. When I open an image that's 300 dpi, then make adjustments, then save it, the resulting resolution for the new image changes to 96 dpi. I've tried many suggestions, from saving it as a tiff with no compression to saving it as a bitmap. But I don't see any options available for saving the file at the same resolution. It seems like it would automatically default to the same resolution as the original, especially since I'm not changing the vertical or horizontal size. Please keep in mind, this is specific to PhotoSuite, NOT Photoshop, so answers related to Photoshop will probably not apply. Any help would be appreciated!How can I save a file at 300 dpi in Roxio Photosuite 4?
Don't worry about the DPI. It is not important. The only thing that determines a photos resolution is the Pixel Dimensions.



If you really must change the DPI because someone else (maybe your boss) thinks it is important then make sure you turn off resampling (sometimes it is called resize image) before you enter the new value.



But otherwise you can just ignore the DPI. It will not be considered by the browser which usually displays at 96 DPI regardless of the images DPI setting. And these days it is not used for determining the size of a print.



This is an excellent resource that it explains it much better than I can:
