cocod2........try pressing F11 on your keyboard - see if that helps.

It makes the page fill the screen: you may be able to see the buttons that you need.

Press it again to return to 'normal'

Ken C has given you good advice (I tried to rep, but have to wait). Give that a try additionl space would indeed be available. Let us know how you make out with that.
Think about all the help that you have. No need to worry, anymore about the computer. We will do that for you.
Thank you Ken.

I am a lurker on this forum and have gained a vast amount of knowledge from everyone posting here. I am learning not teaching.
The tuts are amazing. I noticed this thread and am compelled to ask if this is the world record of posts in regard to font size?

 

[richc46]

Hi Coco

Sorry you are not feeling well. Its been very hot here 100 degrees, awful.

In any event as far as getting new antivirus. I completely confident in saying that you should go with MSE, Microsoft Essentials as your real time scan, Malwarebytes to scan once a week to be sure there is no other malware and Windows FireWall, which is already on your system. These are all free, why pay,if you can get better or at least as good for free.

To say you went to site and saw an overflow is just not enough information, sorry. I do know that overflows do happen on ocassion and it is nothing to worry about, unless they cause computer problems, that are a concern.

Make sure that you are using Windows Media Player for the Videos, that should work.
If you go to search and type default, go to the default programs screen, where you can see the default video player.

hi rich well the heat was and is oppresive to say the least...and yet it continues. hope you have air/c

ok in terms of norton i have many many months left on it so i will stay with it till it ends.

now the sight you sent me for the antivirus would be
for the one pc i want to have it on.... correct
do i call norton first to have it transferred to my new laptop then download the site you sent me.....

as for the stack overflow i have seen this alot on
facebook next time it pops up i shall sent more info.

thanx rich

The only thing you have to do with Norton is to make sure they stop charging you. It may take a call, or email, that I do not know, but stop the automatic bills. Then when you are ready, I will get you the tool to uninstall, then with the link that I sent you just download the new AntiVirus. Its not hard and it will save you money. You can use it on any computer that you wish. Laptop or PC, it will work equally well.

rich they are not charging me at all.. it is all paid for... in full.... i have 200 days for all computers
except the new laptop of which they will move over
the 200 days from the pc and i need just to put in
an antivirus on that one.....

of course before the 200 days are up on the other puters i will do as you said..

but what i wanted to know is do i call norton first
and have the 200 days put on my laptop as they said they would do..... and then install the link you sent
me on the the puter they are taking off the 200 days.


am i making sense as i am very tired.... and in alot o pain today

[cocod2]

by the way i dont have it to be automatically renewed
the alert me when i need to have it renewed
forgot to say that

 

[richc46]

I have a friend with your condition and I know about the pain, and I am very sorry. I hope that you begin to feel better soon.

As far as Norton, I would tell most people forget Norton and the 200 days and go for MSE, but I am not going to tell you that. Stay with Norton as long as you do not have to pay. I suggest that because, you are trying to learn the basics and it is all new to you. When the 200 days are up, you will know a lot more and it will be easier to make the change.

So, in your case, download from the link that I sent, only at the point that you have to pay. Remember, first you must uninstall the old AntiVirus, when you are ready, let me know and I will help with that, too.

 

[cocod2]

hi. norton is going to uninstall it for me or so they said and then put the remaining days on my laptop.

as for the link you sent me i looked at it
and it said download for free.....

so i guess after norton does what they do
i will be ready to install the other....

thank you for your good wishes and about your friend.. yes it is very painful.. and so much more than pain....... the weather does not help us..... sad but true

 

[richc46]

Its important that when you want to install, you uninstall the old one first. I will help. It is not difficult.

 

[cocod2]

ok thank you.. I hope to do it in next few days or week or so..

 

[richc46]

You take your time. I will be away for a few weeks, soon, but dont worry, others here will be glad to help. I will post when I am leaving and when I am coming back.

 

[cocod2]

ok and when you go i hope you will have a great time..
do i post on this thread for the others to see when you are gone.

 

[richc46]

Yes post on this thread, so for the person that helps, they will have the complete history.
