LiamGTR Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I've just bought myself a wireless keyboard and mouse as i'm sick og being hunched over on my laptop as I don't have a comp desk no more. And i'm in bed now with the laptop on the TV, but can hardly reat what i'm typing...and I don't need glasses or what not so its not my vision its just my tv is on the wall....on the other side of the room. Is there any way I can increase the size of text on the scrrol, without everything else getting bigger aswell meaning that I have to side scroll just to read a post? Also, while i'm on it, how do I make my p.c dim if I leave it for a few minutes (i'm scared of screen burn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Apparently IE8 has loads of bugs? I got the windows update for it yesterday but declined it due to hearing what it does to come peoples computers and freezing etc. and i'll give the screen saver options a go now, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
