Netbook problem

**glenman** · #1 06-10-2010, 11:23 PM

My wife uses a netbook for yahoo messenger and quite often when she is typing the text goes so small it is unreadable. If she closes it and reopens it the text goes back to normal size, however sometimes it happens on web pages and closing the page and re-opening it makes no difference. I have run ccleaner and scanned the thing with microsoft security essentials but it still happens, any ideas?

its the touchpad - they are really sensitive

just push both your fingers from the middle out to increase the size

and vice versa to decrease

Microsoft has no plans to push Vista on netbooks (Vista is actually running on some netbooks, but only 1.5 percent of them, according to IDC). The hardware requirements of Vista and the licensing costs are too much for netbook OEMs. Only the newest and strongest netbooks could handle Vista.

I'm tossing up whether you're a spammer or not maxe with a post like that...hmmmmm. Two posts - both anti M$....
One's so out of date it's not funny.

EDIT: Your VLC player link is dodgy as fuck too. An .exe file for potato.it - surely a virus...yep 200k. VLC is around 18mb from memory - i'm taking it out.
Don't want good people thinking that's a link from us here... folks watch when you click links that aren't officially from this site. Always get your downloads from the software download link at the top of the FSi page.
