Having some basic PC problems

Having some basic PC problems

Firstly, my screen size is too big. And I don't mean the old ctl-run the mouse button down. How do I change my screen size?


Secondly, I recently got the new Norton put on my computer and all of a sudden my computer couldn't run any slower! Anyone help with this?



Cheers

I'd remove Norton then read this

Right Click the Desktop, select Properties, Settings then change the 'Screen Resolution'

Norton is known for using lots of system resourses... if it's a works machine, they probably won't let you take it off

task manager has been disabled by ure administartor

that comes up everytime i hit ctrl alt del


BUT IM TEH BLOODY ADMINISTRATER

Is that as in 'I'm the administartor, twisted administartor'?

Cheers for that.

Next problem - When my screen scrolls down it flicks down really annoyingly instead of just moving down. Any ideas?

when using the scroll wheel on internet explorer pages?

Control Panel > Mouse > scoll wheel set it to 1 line at a time maybe

home pc?

sound virusy. thats what happens when u steal music and download porn - unless you're careful, it always happens.....

i dont download porn

Yes, on IE pages. Just tried that but didn't work. Was already on 1 line at a time.

sometimes it's the 'centre button' (depress the scroll wheel) that can be dodgy. Try a different mouse at some point, see if it does the same

You need to install the graphic card drivers..
You will just be using the plain microsoft ones atm..

As for Norton.. I presume you have bought the 2006 IS..

I run Anti Virus 98 and Firewall 98.. and my machine is still pretty nippy..

Have a look around and see if you can get these anywhere.. I'd highly recommend it.

I've seen loads of machine slow to crawling pace once the newer versions of norton have been put on..

my machine runs sweet on 2006 like.

How do I do this?

you should have got a disc when you bought your pc with them on.If not just find out what graphics card you have and you should be able to find them to download

you have some sort of virus mate.

thats exactly what happened to mine a few weeks ago.

klusky (fiddla) sorted it out!

you have to put some special code in the run program, on your start bar.
then it will be unblocked
