| | Moving around the desktop when using large custom font size Trying to help a visually-impaired friend, running Vista Home Premium ,to enlarge text and icons , I set the custom dpi size to maximum (500%). Now we can only see a small piece of the desktop and I can't find a way to move around on the desktop. As a result I can't reduce the font size to something more manageable. Can anyone tell me how to navigate around the desktop under these conditions? -- Ron |

Afterwards, restart back into your normal desktop. You should have it back to normal then. This tutorial will show you how to boot into Safe Mode if needed. Safe Mode |
