Suddenly tiny fonts in applicatio​ns other than tiles screen on Windows 8

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Windows 8.1, I’ve had it for about a half a year now. I have  Office 10 pro on it and everything has been working fine. Now (yesterday when I powered up) all of the applications other than the tile screen (opening screen) have gone extremely small (even the arrow on the tiles screen is so small can barely se it . I wish I could report what application I used last before this happened but I can’t. I have McAfee, CCleaner, and Super anti spyware that I use. There really was nothing that I remember that downloaded just before this happened. I looked at the programs in the control panel and nothing appears to have recently updated except Mc Afee The resolution is still at its default settings. I’ve tried to play with the resolution but I just isn’t working.

I can (Ctrl+ Alt+ Delete) & get the Task Manager. But from there I have no clue what to do with the Task Manager because Win 8 Task Manager seems so different than
Win 7 task manager in my opinion
Does it have a More details button?  You would need to use that to get to a more familiar display.   Otherwise it would just look like the old one's Applications tab and without anything running probably appear empty.
So, your symptom may mean that explorer.exe has stopped running for some reason (though strange I think that it would not try to recover).  Then, you could use TM to try starting it again, or you could use it to try starting other things, e.g. using
the File, Run... command.   Alt-F, etc.   Or try switching to a different account.  E.g. it may only be a problem with your account, not the whole OS.

  • How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

    How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?
    For example, a border: a black line with a width 1 and then a transparent line with a width 5. Further inner, it is the content pane.
    In JavaSE, there seems to have the paintComponent() method for the JFrame to realize the effect.

    Not sure why your code is doing that. I usually use an ObjectProperty<Point2D> to hold the initial coordinates of the mouse press, and set it to null on a mouse release. That seems to avoid the dragging being confused by mouse interaction with other nodes.

  • Can Quicktime Recorder do anything other than wide screen?

    When I use screen recorder is allows me to select the specific area I want to record on my screen.  When I do it then changes the ares I slected to widescreen thus recording more of the screen than I want.  I have read that you are suppose to change it with the little grey balls on the edges of the selcted area, but when I try to use it nothing happens.  can any one tell me why this is or how i can change it?

  • I have an iphone 4 . A new screen has been fitted front and back. It suffered a bit of a bang. Now when the phone is turned on the apple logo appears but nothing more  . Could there be a problem elsewhere ? Other than smashed screen? Any ideas welcome

    I have an iphone 4 . It's had a new front and back screen fitted after a bit of a bang . Now when turned on the apple logo appears on the screen and then goes off. Then appears again etc etc etc .
    It won't go any further . Any ideas as to what else may be an issue or has anyone else had the same problem and what was the outcome . If I back up to iTunes will I be able to back up my information without any activity showing on the screen !! I'm lost without all my information . I haven't backed up to iCloud for at least 5 months. Can anyone help me PLEASE?????

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • Installed latest softward for my ipad 2 and now it want's me to connect to iTunes and restore to factory settings!? What do I do? I can't access the iPad2 other than a screen that shows a plug being inserted into the iTunes logo.

    So I saw that my software needed to be updated, so I did it over  wifi, then a picture with the plug being inserted into the iTunes logo appears on the screen when finished the install. I plug my iPad 2 into the connector and iTunes sees the iPad 2 connected. Then a window opens that says to restore to use iTunes. I click restore and a second message appears stating something to the effect "Are you sure you want to restore to factory setting all info will be lost."
    NO I don't want to loose everything.
    My iPad only powers on with the image of a cord pugging into the iTunes logo. I can't get past it and I don't want to restore the iPad 2 to factory settings.
    What do I do?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Does one key recovery effect drives other than the one where windows is installed?

    Just trying to get rid of MS stuff. I like Firefox much better

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
    Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

  • Acer Aspire E5-511. touchpad/mouse move cursor but will not open any programmes other than McAfee,

    Just purchased this laptop, initial thought it was a great improvement on my 3 year old Aspire!!!   Latest problem after doing a complete scan with McAfee is the touchpad or remote will move the cursor but will not open any programmes other than McAfee.   The Windows symbol (bottom left hand corner) does not light up when the cursor is over it and I am unable to use windows key + C to get charms bar.  For background I have been unable to install windows updates since I have had this computer, two days, hence doing a scan to look for reasons.

    Thanks for your suggestion Acer-Justin.   Sorted it by a switching off/reset using keyboard.   Sorted update problem using Microsoft who found a problem with update system then installed Windows 10 - all appears ok for now.

  • When I create a stickie note, I can not save any font size other than the default.  How do I save a stickie with a larger or different font?

    How do I save a stickie note with a different font size other than the default?  When I create a note and save it using a larger font, it reopens with the default.

    Unlikely, I'm afraid.
    The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
    In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules.  This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections.  But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either. 
    If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool.  E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver.  Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project.  But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

Could someone please help me in rectifying the problem. Would thi issue also affect saved data. However, I have handed the notebook to Apple for reapirs and they will revert by Thursday 12/04/2012.

    I just received some horrifying news from Adobe about my production suite.  I just FINALLY learned today that what I've been trying to do for over a week now - CAN'T be done because of compatability issues involving updates of both Adobe & Microsucks Winders!!!  I sincerely hope this is not your problem.  Mine is ALMOST HOPELESS!!  Being in this HOPELESS Obamma economy,,,, leaves NO STIMULUS in which to currently upgrade everything that needs upgraded for me to fully use my INVESTMENT in Adobe Suite - sad, horrible and SICKENING!!!
    I just wanted to post this. And again, I truly hope you find a solution. Good Luck!

  • Can hardly read tiny font on my Juno email page and can't find how to change font size or color, which is light blue.

    That's it in a nutshell. I never had this problem with IE, but when I changed to Firefox suddenly there's all my emails listed in tiny blue font. Can't find anything on the Address Bar to change it.
    When I open the emails, they're fine--but the page listing them is awful. And light blue font on white background makes reading it more painful on the eyes.

    My wife had the same problem. Click on the tools icon in your web browser and go to the "zoom" feature. You can adjust the font size there.
