I personally set it to 100% on first install for Windows 7. And I set it to 100% for Windows 10. Windows 7 doesn't automatically adjust display scale like Windows 10 does.

What happens if you try CTRL+0 in your web browser (the command to reset any page zoom that may have occurred)? You might have accidentally zoomed out, and 125% cancels it out.

Can you reccommend any good startup manager type software similar in function to Soluto? It stopped working for me a month or so ago and their CSRs dont respond so im assuming its a dead product I liked how it would delay stuff in a cascade and that it could let me know if something was safe to remove from startup.

Stays the same. There is CLEARLY a difference in these two images using the exact same settings. The only difference is the operating system. Do NOT tell me that the zoom in the browser is different, because they are BOTH 100%. You can tell by the lack of a magnifying glass in the address bar. This is what the site looks like on a Windows 7 100% Display Scale, Zoom 100%.  This is what Windows 10 100% Display Scale, Zoom 100% looks like.  Here is somethingawful at Display Scale 100%, resolution 1920x1080, Windows 10. Can you seriously tell me this looks the same as what other goons are looking at?   Edit: So something funky was going on with Display Scaling. Even though I set it to 100%, it was doing some strange things. I had to set a Custom Scale Factor under Advanced Display Settings -> Advanced Sizing of Text and Other Items -> Set a custom scaling level (not recommended).

Is there a way to make taskbar buttons that are normally grouped as one (meaning if I have 4 instances of Firefox open at once, not as tabs) to operate as if they weren't grouped so I could freely re-arrange them in whatever order I wanted?

So I can't log in to my live.com email account. Going through the lost password process just changes the password for my microsoft account, leaving me still unable to get into the live.com account. What gives? Here's the steps I took, to the best of my recollection: 1. I have two emails - a gmail account for personal stuff and a live account (actually used to be hotmail way back) which I use for purchasing stuff online, newsletters and other stuff that tends to attract spam. 2. I also have a microsoft login which I was forced to create when I got Windows 8. It established yet another new email account, but I chose to link it to my gmail account instead, rather than juggle 3 emails at the same time. 3. I changed the password to the live.com account recently as I was travelling, and did not have access to my keeppass file with all my passwords at the time. 4. I forget what the new password was. Changing the password just changes the login to my Microsoft account, which, confusingly uses my gmail accounts address. The actual gmail.com email still uses an old password, which I recall quite well. I hope that all makes sense. I'm having trouble understanding it, or even figuring out how to formulate it for a google search.

That seems weird, how does the lost password process even know you have a Microsoft account if your live.com address isn't tied to that at all?

Good question. The live account is accessable (or it was) through Metro's mail program. I added it a long time ago. Perhaps that has something to do with it. I'm going to try resetting the password via a different computer tomorrow, for lack of any other ideas.

On Windows 7 Home, is it possible to have the computer automatically go back to sleep if you don't enter a password in the login screen for a few minutes? I have it sleeping while I'm at work, and disabled wake on keyboard and wake on mouse, but sometimes the kids will press the power button since it's a big blinking light, and I don't want it running for hours with the login screen just sitting there. Power settings doesn't do it, for some reason the login screen is immune to those settings.

Power Options -> Change plan settings -> Changed advanced power settings -> Sleep -> System unattended sleep timeout If you do not see this option, you'll need to add a registry key to add it. Run this in a .reg file. code:

I'd highly recommend it, but don't take my word for it - use the free version to evaluate how well it works with the apps you want to sandbox. Windows 10 is fully supported.

Does anybody have a copy of the last free, legit version of Synergy? They've since gone to a pay model and I'd rather just download the latest free one if it's all the same. Also I tried googleling it myself but it seems like there are a lot of different "versions" out there and I have no idea which one might have a bunch of extra crap injected into it.

My job involves a whole lot of different things to do all the time and it's a huge pain in the rear end keeping track of everything. It means I'm constantly afraid I've forgotten something important. Could you recommend a good to do list/program or some other way I can handle this? Wunderlist? Todoist? Something else? I'm on Windows 7 btw and I want the solution on my computer - not my phone. Apologies if this isn't the correct thread, but I couldn't find any that seemed more suitable. Xabi fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Jan 27, 2016 |
