Hey i need help on fixing my yahoo page. I go to www.yahoo.com and the words a huge. I think i did something to it by accident. I know that there is a way to make the words normal size again. What way is that? plezz help me i'll rate 5s!!! thanks
You most likely changed the text size to largest.
Open Internet Explorer, click View and then text size. Make sure it is set to medium.
If that's not the problem, let me know and I'll try and help you out some more.
Recently on some webpages this has been popping up: "Click to run ActiveX Control". One time I clicked "OK" and nothing happened, the box just closed. What does this mean? I always X out the box but it's really getting to me.
is there a way to get rid of it?
Some websites require a special control to be installed on your computer in order to see the content of the page. Usually when you click OK a window should pop up and prompt you to install the conrol.
If you want to disable this all you have to do is open up internet explorer, click on tools, then internet options.
Select the "Security" tab and make sure that the "Internet" icon is selected. Click the "Custom Level" button below and a new window entitled "Security Settings" should pop up.
Scroll down to where it says "ActiveX controls and plug-ins". Disable everything under this tab and click OK.
That should fix your problem.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
**EDIT**
All ActiveX Controls are different. It depends on what website you are visiting or program you are running. Basically what it is is a small program that is downloaded onto your computer that allows you to view special content on a webpage. For example, if you are visiting a website with flash games, it may ask you download an ActiveX control in order to play the game. The control downloads graphics and other resources necessary to play the game onto your computer. After it finishes downloading, it will run the game itself.
Usually the control only needs to be installed once - unless the content on the site has been updated - then you may have to install it again.
They're kind of difficult to explain, but computer programmers use them all the time. They just make things a lot simpler.
how can i get more free space on my computer? i have already tried fragmenting it and deleting the cookies and such, so what are some things i could do to free space up ?
Try doing a disk cleanup.
Left click the C: drive and click properties. You should see a button that says "Disk Cleanup". Click that and let it run.
Make sure that after you delete files, you empty your recycle bin. Files you delete from your computer are never completely deleted so you could think about downloading a program that will erase them permanently from your hard drive. I suggest SecureClean.
You can also try uninstalling unneeded Windows components. This is located under the same window as add/remove programs is. Uninstall the things you don't need.
Spyware can build up on your computer and take up a lot of free space, so it's a good idea to download a spyware scanner to get rid of it all.
If you do all of this but still feel like you need more free space, you could buy an external hard drive which hooks up to your computer via USB 2.0 ports.
Good luck!
my sound just....stopped working. like it's turned up and everything but it won't work. i restarted my computer but it didn't do anything...does anyone know what it might be?? 5's
If any of the things that the previous people have mentioned don't work, you may have to update your sound drivers.
To do this, you :
First determine what type of sound card you have. To do this:
Click START
Click RUN
In the box type DXDIAG Click OK. This will bring up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
When the tool finishes loading, click the SOUND tab.
In the Device section, next to 'Name' is the name of your sound card. The Manufacturer is the company that manufactured your sound card. To find the latest driver, google the name of your sound card or go to the manufacturer's web site. On the manufacturer's website there should be a support section or a driver section where you can find the drivers for the device listed in DXDIAG.
Follow the instructions on the manufacturer's web site to download and install the latest drivers.
If you need any help, just let me know =]
