Greetings. I am not a fan of Windows/XP. The thing that is most annoying
is that from page to page the font sizes are all different. I go to Size on
the tool bar and change that. Sometimes it makes a difference. Sometimes
not. I go to Tools/Internet Options/Accessories from the Menu Bar and check
or uncheck "ignore font sizes" and save. Sometimes that helps. Sometimes
not. It is SOOOO annoying! I don't use my new, fancy, higher speed PC as
much as my older, not so fancy, not as high speed but Win/98 PC because of
this. There are other things too but one step at a time.
I did a search for an online XP manual and came up with The Bug Doctor. Has
anyone tried it? Did it make a difference?
Or maybe someone knows where that online XP manual is. I'd gladly look at
that and try to figure out some settings that wouldn't require continual
adjustments.
I had expected to love my new PC. Instead I don't. And it isn't exactly
new. It's more than a year old. I had stopped doing some stuff because the
store that sold me the PC said I shouldn't do some stuff. I can't remember
what right now. But the point was that it might cause problems. Well. It
was stuff I liked to do and I wasn't able to do it anymore. What's with
that?! So I just started doing all the stuff I still wanted to do and
figured if necessary the PC would just have to go back to the shop from time
to time for a "tune up." Now the PC is a chore when it used to be fun!
