Internet pages too large every Internet Explorer

Hi.
If you change your screen resolution to...say 1024x768 you should get an acceptable view of the pages.

Also, if you hold down control and press the minus button it will shrink the page as well.

I hope this helps you out, and good luck !

How can i speed up my pc?

There are several steps you can perform to help speed up your PC. Be aware that your performance is ultimately limited by your hardware, but these steps should help.

1.) disable unneeded startup programs.
To do this, you need to open the System Configuration Utility. Hit the Windows key on your keyboard and R at the same time. This will open the run box. Type msconfig and hit ok. On the utility, hit startup in the top right. Then in that section, hit disable all in the bottom right. Go through the list and enable any startups for your Antivirus software and anything that says Operating System. If you have specific software that you want to start when you boot up your computer, also check them as well.

2.) Run full virus scans.
Often, slow speeds are caused by adware and spyware. There could also be other malicious software. I recommend Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, both available for free.

http://malwarebytes.org/
http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html

3.) Reboot your computer after both scans are complete. This will ensure that all threats were removed properly.

4.) Clean your browser.
I use CCleaner to do this.

5.) Run a disk defrag.
There a couple of ways you can do this. The first way is to use the built-in utility. Go to Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, then Disk Defragmentor. Alternatively, and my preferred method, you can use 3rd party software. My recommendation is Defraggler.

piriform.com/defraggler

This entire process could take several hours, so be sure you have the time to spare. You should not perform other tasks on your computer until the entire process is complete.

IBM wheelwriter 6 only types when I press hard to the keys. Normal typing doesn't activate key strikes. Is there a sensitivity adjustment on the wheelwriter 6?

The IBM Wheelwriter 6 typewriter does not have a user-adjustable sensitivity setting for key strikes. However, the issue you're describing might be related to the keyboard mechanism, individual key switches, or the impact solenoid. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
  1. Clean and Lubricate: Over time, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate inside the typewriter, affecting key movement. Try gently cleaning the keyboard area, especially around the key switches and mechanisms. Additionally, applying a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the moving parts might help improve key movement.
  2. Key Switches: Each key has its own mechanical switch underneath. If a key requires more force than usual to activate, it could be due to a worn or dirty switch. You might need to disassemble the typewriter to access and clean the key switches.
  3. Impact Solenoid: The impact solenoid is responsible for striking the print head against the paper to make an impression. If the solenoid is weak or sticking, it could result in the behavior you're describing. Try cleaning and lubricating the solenoid. If the problem persists, the solenoid might need to be replaced.
  4. Key Flex: The flex you feel in the keyboard might be contributing to the issue. If the keyboard has any physical damage or if the flex circuit is not seated properly, it can affect key activation. Carefully inspect the keyboard area for any visible damage or misalignment.
  5. Professional Repair: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it might be best to seek the assistance of a professional typewriter technician. They have experience with these machines and can diagnose and repair mechanical issues more accurately.

I have a IBM personal computer Platinum III When I turn on my computer it starts normally but after that on my screen appears a text that says "System Error: tastiera Blocked" And after I can't continue to boot and it shows on my screen a error without a code...What should I do??

Tastiera indicated that you have a keyboard problem. Most desktops can't run without a working keyboard. (You need the keyboard connected and working during the power-on self test, POST.) Currently the motherboard can't communicate with the keyboard. What is the model number for your computer? I don't recall a Platinum III, just a Pentium III. Is it a laptop or a desktop? What type of keyboard do you have (USB or PS/2 connector) or is it the built-in one of a laptop? Are you using some sort of converter/adapter for the connections? The USB to PS/2 converter for a mouse does not work with a keyboard. There are some USB to dual PS/2 converters available. However, they don't work with with all motherboards. What OS is installed on the system? Try a different keyboard. (You should try a PS/2 keyboard if the system has PS/2 ports. If the OS is older than Windows 98 v. 2, then the USB ports are even more likely to not see the keyboard in POST.) If you use a USB keyboard, try different ports. If possible, make sure that the keyboards work on other machines. If it does, then I recommend replacing the system. The Pentium III is a ~20 year old CPU. That's certainly old enough to have major failures. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
