New desk top, calling all geeks

[Graham C]

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

[Graham C]

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

[Heid]

Sit closer to the screen!

tikay reduce the screen size and use large fonts

phone me if you want me to talk you thru it

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.
