Spanky46 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sounds like maybe Windows Maginfier might be on. This is located in Accessibility Options in Accessories on the All Programs list. If this is not what is causing the problems then it coild be Video Driver related in which the screen resolution was set too low such as 640 x 480. She could try raising the screen resolution to say 1024 x 768 to see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
