blonde poker forum

I have just bought a new desk top computer today and wanted to know what screen resolution i should have it set on, this writting is way too small and hurts to try read it...cheers

oh btw it shows 16 bit and 32 bit

16 and 32 bit is the colour depth... if you have "true colour" select that for colour.

Screen res should be at least 1024 x 768 to be able to do anything useful.

Have fun :)

I use 1280 x 1024 on a 19" TFT

cant get 2 screens on  at 75Hz though, may have to reduce to 60 and up the resolution to get 2 on

edit: oh yeah you need 32bit.

"writing is way too small".

I have that problem - where can I find those screen resolution things?

Right click on the desktop, choose properties, then choose settings :)

Adjust at will.

or click view, text size, larger

That's true :)

It's interesting to see how diff people drive their pc innit?

That's good advice - 1024x768 is an absolute minimum (most web pages are designed for that at least)

 If it is still making your eyes hurt, I recommend binoculars :)

You only have to whistle and the geeks come running...

Where would I find "Desktop"?

I've tried "View" - "TEXT SIZE" - it's set at "largest".

Geek and proud :)

Tony, your desktop, is the screen you are at when you first load up the pc - where all your program shortcuts are.

Tk just face facts and go to spec savers!  ;tk; ;)

This is what it was set on..... tiny

have taken heids advice and gone with 1024x768

cheers all..

btw silo where in bracknell do you live

Hold down the control key and use the wheel on your mouse to adjust text size.

Ahh yes you are originally from Berkshire, aren't you?

East or West?

Forest Park in Bracknell -do you know it? Youre not from here too are you?

hey if you are in Bracknell (or are close) you're not interested in a home game now and again are you?  Low stakes  - we've just started and play for a tenner atm

Me and a couple of mates have started but me and another are keen to play more so we need more.

Soz to be a pain. But the screen my PC opens up in does not have "Desktop" on it. And I have no idea where or what ""program shortcuts" are.

I tried the "control, & mouse wheel" trick, but it seems to be at its largest alreadsy, as it only gets smaller.

Tikay,

This is your desktop ... (well this is mine ... but yours must look something like this)....

Ahh, found it now Heid. But I'm already at maximum - 1024 x 768 I think.

Never mind. Specsavers it is.

My eyes really are very bad , I can barely see this when I type.

if you lower the resolution it will  make things bigger if thats what you want Tikay?  Setting it too 800 x 600 will make everything bigger.

the higher the res, the smaller everything is.

Sit closer to the screen!

 ;tk;

tikay reduce the screen size and use large fonts

phone me if you want me to talk you thru it

Silo im from great hollands bracknell, however i now live in the USA so don't think i can make your next home game, but will keep it in mind next time im coming back there. Cheers

WOW - I did this & it's now beautiful - thank you!

I asumed the bigger the resolution, the bigger the typeface would be. Barmy, these computer peeps.

Ty Ty Ty

First time for months I've been able to read things on the screen properly. Even Cardroom Lobbies - EVERYTHING is bigger. Great stuff. I'm a happy bunny now.

Sandy

East Berkshire, isn't proper Berkshire :) <g>

Yes, I can see those Sandy. I saw them in the blonde tourney, too. Against my AAA. Pre-Flop.

What a nightmare  I now open poker account to play, and the table size is not full screen anymore. help please geeks

You have increased your screen res in relation to your poker client. Does the poker client have an option to be full screen?

If it does, then alter it, if not open another table, more room, and twice the chance of winning (unless you're me :D )

I know im asking a lot but anyone know how to import my outlook express from old comp to the new one? 

I thought this was gonna be great, now i see i need most of the crap i had on the other machine...... :blonde:

Now THAT I can't help you with.I don't use Outlook, but will watch with interest, as I may have to start using it toon enough.

Soz Mr Bounce :)

no problem. when in doubt a hammer is away a good bet . thanks for the help...

well 800x600 is the setting i had on the old one. so i chave decided to stick with that. and im back to having a full screen on the poker site. cheers all

Tikay. hold control and scroll with your mouse wheel this should enlarge to view, for peeps as old as yourself :D
