What happen is that your windows reset the graphics.

go to your desktop and right click anyway on the screen. a window should pop up. On the bottom of the screen there will be a bar that says properties. click on that. this should open another window. once this window is open click on the setting tab. you should see 2 things. 1 on the left side a there should be a slider bar that says screen resolotion and on the right side a drop down bar that says color quality. what you will want to do is.make sure that color quality bar is on the option (highest) 32 bit than on the left side you will need to slide the slider bar to the right to the highest point. than click apply. this will reconfigure your screen and give you about 14 seconds to accept it or not. if it is to small then slide the bar back to the left slightly until you are satisfied with the size.

Now if you are not able to switch the color resolution to 32 bit you will need to download the graphics software from your personal computer (AKA: PC) manufacture website. and than switch the resolution. if you do not know how to do this please let me know and i will be glad to help you further. I will need the make,model and serial number of your computer as well as the operating system.
Please do not hesitate to ask for further assistance.

Zoom adjustment wont move, chg battery and no help. help

  1. In many apps, you can zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari. You can also use the Zoom feature to magnify the screen no matter what you're doing. You can magnify the entire screen (Full Screen Zoom) or magnify only part of the screen with a resizable lens (Window Zoom). And, you can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.
  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on Zoom.
  2. Adjust any of the following:
    • Follow Focus: Track your selections, the text insertion point, and your typing.
    • Smart Typing: Switch to Window Zoom when a keyboard appears.
    • Keyboard Shortcuts: Turn on keyboard shortcuts to control Zoom.
    • Zoom Controller: Turn the controller on, set controller actions, and adjust the color and opacity.
    • Zoom Region: Choose Full Screen Zoom or Window Zoom.
    • Zoom Filter: Choose None, Inverted, Grayscale, Grayscale Inverted, or Low Light.
    • Maximum Zoom Level: Drag the slider to adjust the level.
  3. If you use iPhone with a pointer device, you can also set the following below Pointer Control:
    • Zoom Pan: Choose Continuous, Centered, or Edges to set how the screen image moves with the pointer.
    • Adjust Size with Zoom: Allow the pointer to scale with zoom.
  4. To add Zoom to Accessibility Shortcut, go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then tap Zoom.
  1. Double-tap the screen with three fingers or use accessibility shortcuts to turn on Zoom.
  2. To see more of the screen, do any of the following:
    • Adjust the magnification: Double-tap the screen with three fingers (without lifting your fingers after the second tap), then drag up or down. Or triple-tap with three fingers, then drag the Zoom Level slider.
    • Move the Zoom lens: (Window Zoom) Drag the handle at the bottom of the Zoom lens.
    • Pan to another area: (Full Screen Zoom) Drag the screen with three fingers.
  3. To adjust the settings with the Zoom menu, triple-tap with three fingers, then adjust any of the following:
    • Choose Region: Choose Full Screen Zoom or Window Zoom.
    • Resize Lens: (Window Zoom) Tap Resize Lens, then drag any of the round handles that appear.
    • Choose Filter: Choose Inverted, Grayscale, Grayscale Inverted, or Low Light.
    • Show Controller: Show the Zoom Controller.
  4. To use the Zoom Controller, do any of the following:
    • Show the Zoom menu: Tap the controller.
    • Zoom in or out: Double-tap the controller.
    • Pan: When zoomed in, drag the controller.
While using Zoom with Magic Keyboard, the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display. See Use Magic Keyboard with iPhone.
To turn off Zoom, double-tap the screen with three fingers or use accessibility shortcuts.

How do i change the zoom levels of my computer

If you are talking about a internet browser usually it's Ctrl + to zoom in or Ctrl - to zoom out

If you are talking about screen resolution than:

1. Open Display Settings by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Display Settings.

2. Under Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply.
FILE > PRINT PREVIEW Prior to printing, got to the print preview screen. There will be a window of the print there and as/if you chance any settings, the print preview window will show (exactly) what the printed page will look like.

FILE > PRINT OPTIONS There you can set the header and footer margins. If nessassary.

  • If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the CTRL key, and then scroll the wheel to zoom in or out.

  • If you click the Change Zoom Level button c3f4930f-73f0-494b-a11a-eba6f829dede.png, it will cycle through 100%, 125%, and 150%, giving you a quick enlargement of the webpage.

  • From the keyboard you can increase or decrease the zoom value in 10% increments. To zoom in, press CTRL+PLUS SIGN (+). To zoom out, press CTRL+MINUS SIGN (-). To restore the zoom to 100%, press CTRL+0.

    Huge black spot over my pagemaker files

    I installed version 6.5 of PageMaker as I was having problems with the 7 version. I am going to give you a link and suggest you try the following. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe open your PM files and delete them all. unzip the files and put them all into the folder. Rename the folder PM65. In the folder open the application icon and it should load. the file is of course PM65.rar. The website is completely safe. It is my own web. Good Luck
