Changing Display Settings

[Jinx]

I recently reinstalled Windows XP HE and my text is so large that it won't
all fit on the screen. I have tried troubleshooting and tried to change my
display settings but it won't allow me to. I have a hard time reading the
screen, some text is extremely large and the rest is blurry. Am not a good
on a computer so if you can I would greatly appreciate it.

Jinx,

I have never heard of Windows XP HE. However, given that it is a functioning operating system, the problem you are facing
seems to be a driver issue. This issue can be resolved by installing the correct drivers for your graphics card. To further
inform you, please provide your system statistics (ex: graphics card, etc.) so we can be productive in helping you.

Thank you for responding Colton. The installation disk reads -
Reinstallation CD
Microsoft Winds XP Home Edition, Including Service Pack 1a.

I don't mean to sound ignorant but where do I find the system statistics?

Jinx,

Oh! Okay. Excuse the slowness with the "HE" attatched. I'm a bit plastered at the moment. You should be able to find your
system statistics from your computer information. When you click your start menu, right click on "My Computer" and click
"Properties". I believe this will give you the information we are looking for. I haven't used XP in a while, so forgive me if
my mind decieves me.

I think I need to get plastered too. I'm not sure if this is what you want,
but:

Celeron(r) CPU 1.70 GHz
1.69 GHz
640 MB RAM

Jinx,

The information that you supplied is for your RAM, not graphics card. You may have to go to your device manager in order
to find out. The major graphic cards that are used now-days are ATI and nVidia, but I am by no means saying that's what you
should have. Everyone has their own personal best.

Usually when you reinstall Windows you also need to reinstall drivers for
some of your computer's hardware components. At the very least you can
expect to have to install drivers for your display adapter and motherboard
chipset.

The latest versions of these drivers can be downloaded from the computer
manufacturer's web site. If you're not sure how to proceed, post back with
the make and model of your computer.

Good luck

Jinx,

I have never heard of Windows XP HE.

Everyone else has. It's Windows XP Home Edition

 

[Colton]

Oh, right. So, because I was drunk and trying to help someone, I just learned how to turn off my
computer with something other than the power key.. Mkay..

sudo reboot doesn't work then, I'm assuming?
