compaq sr5440an (new zealand+ australian model)
hi all.by default this model pc displays utilities such as adaware,spy
bot etc in very small (i think it could be described as) type size.i know i can increase the dpi size for the desktop icons,which i have done,but this does not make the "type size" any larger in the utility programs.is there a registry tweak or a fix for this? also web pages need to have "zoom" adjusted every time to about 125-150% as zoom adjusted to 125 or 150% apparently can't be made default size.hope you can help,as it will make think twice when buying my next hp-compac product. thanks bob. |

You are aware, you can right click on an empty space on the desktop, and select properties, and then settings. There you can see what you are using for a desktop setting. Monitor size has a great deal to do with readability. On my 4x3 ratio old style almost square screens I use 1280x1024 which is unreadable on a 15 inch monitor. But the 1280x1024 it is very readable on a 19 ols style almost square monitor. I have dificulty reading 1024x768 on the 19 inch monitor it is to large, and I need to sit farther away from the screen... On the 17 16x10 letter box style monitor a 1440x900 resolution is on the small side, but on the 20.1 inch i use daily 1440z900 the type is too large, and I use a 1680x1050 resolution. What is your monitor size (LCD or a CRT)? JR the postman |

What is your monitor size (LCD or a CRT)? JR the postman thanks for your response. by default the monitor is a 19 inch flat panel (lcd). have played around with settings,but are now resigned to believing that the installed copy of vista home prem,is from a vista recovery disk,not an original vista installation disk.apparently any retailer can do this legally (bugger!!) most of the major players '' customise'' their ''shop brought'' pc's this way.perhaps so they can load their own crapware.no wonder hp's market share has fallen from around 80% to 25% over the last few years according to some latest reports. any more info is most helpful,but alas like many others,we will look elsewhere for our next pc's,and other related items.keep up these these type of responses,and keep the *******s honest.regards bob. |
