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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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>

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.

Nope.... we just yelled at him.
I am a wimp.

Life is very bad here today. :(

Tess

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

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.

Car, if you need bail money, I'm willing to pitch in.

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.

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.

Car, I like the thought of being slimmer.

<Wanders away wondering how Juju did that.>
