Is the high definition (HD) display of my new laptop the culprit behind my tiny impossible to read icons and menu headers in all my CS5 adobe programs?

The toolbox icons and menu headers are too small to read in all my adobe cs5 programs. I just purchased a new laptop with a high definition (HD) screen and 1920x1080 resolution. So far I tried dropping the resolution to 1680x1050 that does not solve the problem. I went into photoshop preferences/interface and bumped up text size to "large" and that made text in menus readable but not the icons or menu headers. Then it occurred to me, the one thing that is different is the HD display. Does anyone know if that is the reason for the tiny icons and text?  Thanks for your help.

Hi Gene,
I tried what you mentioned and wow! the icons and menu headers in photoshop are a normal size again.
One other thing I did since my first post, I found a way to bump up the size of text in the display settings of Windows and that fixed readability in most of the adobe products I use ( acrobat pro, illustrator, indesign, bridge-somewhat) but not photoshop. Anyways, thanks for your advice! you have saved me from ruining my eyesight.

    I can completely understand this guy's frustration with the clickpad, it is completely unusuable with the default settings. I played around with the synaptics settings and it is much better now, I just adjusted the FingerHigh and FingerLow options:
    synclient FingerHigh=46
    synclient FingerLow=46
    With these settings, the cursor doesn't twitch around anymore when you try to click something.

    Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
    By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'.

    FND_MSG_PUB.ADD_EXEC_MSG (pkg_name, proc_name,

    I'm not sure if I understood your question clearly but here is a good resource on how to get attributes from "GetUserProfileByName" web services:

    Regarding filtering dropdown list then this could be done by applying form on-load rules. 
    Hope this helps

    smileys are a sequence of chars like ;-¶ which the internet site or program like a chat program replace with an image typically a small gif image
    is your problem that you want to save those images to your harddisk?
    is your problem that you wish some other program then facebook to replace the smiley chars with the images that facebook use?
    is your problem that when you type on facebook your smileys are not replaced with the same images as others (in which case you should prob as which signs they type)

  • Icon and menu "Ghosting" & intermittent startup display problems

    Hi all
    My Ti is almost 7 years old. 90% of the time it sits on my desk - very rarely moved. Plenty of ventilation and in an air conditioned room.
    I have a LG L1780Q digital 17 inch monitor which has been attached for the last two years. My desktop is spread across both screens.
    Within the last three months a problem with the display began to present itself - initially it was very intermittent but now the problem is appearing daily.
    everything on the desktop like icons and menu bars and dock icons become pasted with a Ghosting approximately twice the width of the icon. The mouse cursor also has a vertical pair of horizontal bars which move around with the cursor.
    This problem never effects application windows at all. The bars attached to the cursor remain when hovered over the app - However the application content is not affected at all. So the problem exists only with "desktop" items.
    The problem also manifests on both screens. About 50% of the time I can grab an application window with the mouse and drag it all over the desktops and this "wipes clean" the problem - a bit like an eraser. However, in the last couple of days even this doesn't help. 50% of the time a reboot may solve the problem but that too now is getting worse and worse. Also, occasionally on a reboot, instead of the user login window all i get is a series of broken whitish lines against the standard blue background - this is again across both screens. This is obviously the login screen but all scrambled.
    Reading the posts here I'm beginning to fear that the dreaded "replace the logic board" phrase may come up
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks.
    I love my TiBook - please don't tell me it's dying

    Hi
    Many thanks for your advice.
    First, of course you are correct - I bought the Ti in Jan 2003. It just seems like it's been with me forever!
    In response to your suggestions this is what happened:-
    Disconnected external monitor - problem still there.
    Booted from original install DVD - problem still there.
    I ran disk repair anyway - it found some errors with the catalog file entries, said it fixed them - problem still there as suspected.
    Now the wierd thing - after Disk repair i rebooted from HD without the external monitor connected. After sitting watching the spinning grey wheelie thing on the grey start screen for an hour I decided to leave it and go to bed. I don't know what time it actually booted but an hour seems an inordinately long time?
    After reboot - problem still there (pretty bad now).
    When i reconnected my external monitor, it auto detected the digital feed, screen came on for a second and then went black. Powering the monitor off and on again produced exactly the same result. If I look closely i can just make out very faintly the desktop content on the blacked out external monitor - as though the backlight has failed! Powering off and on does the same thing every time - 1 second of full brightness and content then black!
    BOOHOO!!! is my Ti dying?
    Unfortunately I don't have the Apple Hardware Test CD.
    Should I sit down in anticipation of the verdict?
    many thanks

    My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

    I have a new Laptop, how can I sync my IPOD music ,photo libary and Apps to the new computor without losing anything? My old laptop is kaput.

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.
