    Ever since i got my computer back, the monitor has been screwed. On TB, the writing has shrunk, to the point where i can barley read it. Ive attached a pic so you know whati mean.

    Anyway iyts only the actual forums themselves, not the frames on the top and left.

    Can anyone tell me how to get it back to normal?! :confused:

    if you have a wheel mouse, you can hold control on your keyboard and spin the scroll mouse to change text size.

    That's extremely sucky.<BR><BR>Make sure you get a CD burner in your next machine :p In fact, by the time you've got all the other stuff on your list, DVD burners will probably be realistically priced :D
