March 20, 200521 yr Hello! I hooked up my PC to the HDTV and increased the DPI settings to 120. Now I restored it back to 96dpi but many icons (like quick launch, taskbar , start menu folder icons, minimize and exit buttons) remain large. What should I do?
March 21, 200521 yr Are you still hooked up to the HDTV? Did it come with a Monitor driver? You could try loading that. When you switched back the DPI settings did it copy the fonts & everything OK? Maybe try changing the theme back and forth. Dunno? No HDTV here.
March 22, 200521 yr Author nope. i'm back with my old screen now. I'll try playing around with settings again and tell u if i have any luck.
March 22, 200521 yr Author Still no luck. Yes i've played with the settings back and forth and inserted the CD when they asked for it... the text changes fine but the icons i mentioned before, still no luck.How can I check if the files from the CD were actually copied correctly?
March 22, 200521 yr look somewhere in "display property" for "large icon" or similardid you try to lower "refresh rate" of computer monitor or video card.?try that
March 23, 200521 yr it does sound like it is a problem with the icons just needing to be changed to large but have u tryed to increase the size of them manually? display properties> appearance>advanced
March 23, 200521 yr I thought of telling you to check that the Large Icon options were disabled I just don't think changing the DPI would effect that. Plus the way you desciribed it there with the Minizmize & Exit buttons large I doubt that is it. Try checking under Display Properties --> Appearence is the Font size set to Normal? It shouldn't be Large or Extra Large that is the closest thing that does what you are describing that I can tell. That Icon cache thing sounds promising too though. Otherwise I don't know...
March 23, 200521 yr Did you check the font size like I suggested also? On my computer that seems to cause what you are describing. (Large minimize & exit buttons) Do the words in your title bar seems bigger too? Try this...Display Properties-->Appearence-->Font size = Normal.
