Common PC Problems The following is a list of questions and answers if you are having trouble with your PC I recently bought a new keyboard, and the " and @ symbols are switched around. This is easy to fix. Just go to Start > Control Panel > Switch to Classic View if you are on Windows XP and click on 'Reigional and Language Options'. From there click on the 'Languages' tab then click on 'Details'. Scroll down to Ireland or UK keyboard and 'OK'. Problem sorted. Every time I start my computer, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) prompts me to connect to the internet. How can I stop this from happening? Press F3 to open the Preferences window in AIM. Click on Sign On/Off on the left-hand side of the Window and click in the box labelled Start AIM when Windows starts, then click on OK. The Taskbar has moved to one side of the screen. How can I move it back? Click on an empty part of the taskbar and drag it to the bottom of the screen. My scanning software gives me the choice between JPG and BMP files for my scans. What is the difference? JPG images take up much less disk space than BMP but they manage this by compressing the picture so that some quality is lost. Every time you save a JPG image more image quality is lost so, if you are going to edit the image, you should save it as a BMP. I often have to print out large documents but I would like to reduce the amount of paper that I use in doing so. I cannot change the size of the text in the documents. Is there any other way I can fit more on a page? Most printers can print what is called N-Up, where pages are shrunk to fit several onto one sheet of paper. Click on the File menu and then Print and in the Print dialogue box click on the Properties button. You should find the settings for N-Up printing here. |
