Weinermr | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 03:43 pm     Car, I don't have or use Windows XP, but there is a Video Display Troubleshooter built into XP, which may be able to help you. Here is how you access it: 1. Click Start , and then click Help and Support . 2. Under Pick a Help Topic , click Fixing a problem . 3. In the left pane, click Games, sound, and video problems . 4. In the right pane, click Display Troubleshooter I wish I could do better. Good luck. |
Car54 | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 03:51 pm     Thanks Weiner...I went there and the help index is huge. I am going to head home and then browse from there. Weird it is only here so far, huh? Thanks Weiner and Twiggy! Hey squish over you guys>> nudge nudge>>>> |
Car54 | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 04:01 pm     Oh my goodness...this computer is talking to me. My old computer never talked. Wow. I am such a DOS girl... |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 05:45 pm     Man, it REALLY feels squishy in here! What is it with that? Ack! I think Neko is in my pocket. Hold on a minute, let me get her out and unfold her before we lose her again!

Webkitty | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 05:59 pm     I have a crick in my neck and Juju's tail keeps swishing me in the face, not to mention the owl feather that's digging into my arm. Ooops, I think I'm starting to shed, cats do that when their nervous you know. |
Theowl | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 06:06 pm     get... off... my... WING!! OUCH!! OWWW OWWWW!!!  |
Car54 | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 06:16 pm     Ok, I seem to have a choice, there is a setting in display/appearance/ that makes it so I am not squished but the print is minescule. Hm.... crowded/blind....crowded/blind....decisions, decisions. <car thinks Windows XP stands for Xtra Petite!> |
Webkitty | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 06:23 pm     Hurry Car! We~can't~hold~out~much~longer Sorry MsOwl, there, are your feathers unruffled now? Purrrr, this kitty likes owls  |
Car54 | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 06:27 pm     OK now I changed something else and you are not squished, but now I have GIGANTO PRINT!!!!! |
Car54 | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 06:30 pm     Oh that was scary! That was like the message board that ate Pittsburg....wow. Ok goin back into Control Panel... if I don't come back I may be stuck in the bizarro XP universe! |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 10:36 pm     <swells up to twice normal size>
Whoa! I'm feeling kinda gassy or something. |
Tess | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 10:39 pm     aaaaaaaack!!! Monster Dawg!!! |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 08:46 am     Car54, you probably have it all nutted out by now, but I've been wondering if it might have something to do with your screen resolution. I had that one time where everything was itty bitty, and somebody told me to go change my screen resolution, and that fixed it. I don't remember how I did it though, but somebody else here will know.
<floats near ceiling, getting larger and larger> |
Car54 | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 11:20 am     It is the screen resolution but now our network guy has totally f***** it up trying to get it to talk to our MSN network. I have cried three times today at work so far. Thanks Juju. <car, goin off to kill the network guy now, see ya> |
Tess | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 01:31 pm     Car, we'll come visit you in jail til Juju figures out a plan to break you outta there. That is unless you rethought your idea of killing the network guy. |
Car54 | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 02:26 pm     Nope.... we just yelled at him. I am a wimp. Life is very bad here today. |
Tess | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 03:16 pm     Well, shoot. We could have all yelled at him for you. I'm sorry things are such a mess for you. I could send Wargod to kick that nasty guy til he gets things working. She's a real good kicker! |
Car54 | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 03:24 pm     He wasn't nasty, he just screwed up. I made a fool of myself getting this upset, but doing without my laptop has cost me about 2 weeks of very crucial work and I am really stressing. It is ok, and they are going to fix it but it was a very bad day. I didn't kill him because Willi already used the kids piggy bank money to bail Bat out of jail in Utah for stalking Neleh. I was afraid Massachusetts would not take Lance's credit card for my bail. |
Wargod | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 03:25 pm     hehehe <wargod goes to get her kicking boots> |
Weinermr | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 04:53 pm     Car, if you need bail money, I'm willing to pitch in. |
Car54 | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 05:34 pm     No thanks Weiner, you need all your spare cash for your Barbie collection. No, I didn't kill him. I got him in trouble with his boss tho. Now I feel guilty. I am calming down now. And I am slowly adjusting to the very narrow view I have of TVCH. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 07:16 pm     Wow! Crying three times at work! That is some serious stuff! On the plus side, everybody keeps parading through here now to see how slim they look.
 |
Car54 | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 07:18 pm     No it was just PMS. I am retaining water too. |
Tess | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 08:44 pm     aaaaaaack, Juju!! Car, I like the thought of being slimmer. <Wanders away wondering how Juju did that.> |
Wargod | Friday, May 31, 2002 - 09:05 pm     Juju got stretched! hehe |
