View 3 Replies View RelatedSafely Change Partition Size
Jun 28, 2010Well this issue is really simple, I have two operating systems: Windows XP Home Edition and Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx installed on my computer, both systems are installed into a single HD, each on its own partition.
My HD is 120 GB and I have 60 GB for Win and 60 GB for Ubuntu, my question is: Is there any way to safely change this partition size WITHOUT uninstall any of my OS? I've been using my computer for about 6 months with this partitions, which means that my two systems have some applications and programs installed and I feel really lazy about reinstalling Ubuntu and all my programs just because I want to change my partition size; of course if there is no other solution I'll have to do it, I know this works because I partitioned my Win 120 GB partition to accomodate Ubuntu when I installed it, using the partition wizard that comes with the Ubuntu installation program.

I cannot change it to having the system manage the file, nor can I change the custom file size.

Cannot Change Temp Internet File Cache Size?
Jul 25, 2005I can not change the size of the Internet Temp File cache. The slide bar moves, but the size of the file remains the same. No matter what size I select, 10, 15, or 20mb, the error message "Set size to 1 or 0" appears. If I set the size to 1, I get the same error msg. This is causing no end of problems with my e-mail.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAll Icons / Windows Too Large / Cannot Reset Or Change Preferences To Smaller Size
Jul 10, 2008I reinstalled Windows for my sister, who is visually impaired. I just installed Windows XP Pro. Just finished it, and then handed it over to her, to customize her settings. Since she has bad vision, she usually lowers the resolution down to 800x600 and has the font size and title bar sizes larger. Well as soon as I left her alone with her computer, she messed up the windows or icon settings so bad, so everything is HUGE. Everything is so huge, that (what should be) small menus now fill the whole screen. We can't get to the part of the preferences window to change the resolution to something higher, and we can't get to anywhere (that we know of) to change anything back to something resembling normal. Basically, we can't do anything anymore.I know I can reinstall Windows XP all over again, but since I JUST DID THAT I'd like to avoid having to do it all over again. Is there some way to reset the preferences, without having to reinstall the whole operating system for something so seemingly idiotic?

Dec 23, 2009I am using an elderly 3M LCD projection panel on an overhead prjector for big screen Tv, driven by XP pro SP3. The panel has no controls for vertical/horizontal size and whatever monitor is used, an OS desktop fills the screen by default. I can resize the window for the TV viewing program in the normal way,just filling my projection screen, but the XP desktop is far too large.Does anyone know of a way to change the physical size of the desktop (including the taskbar) so that it sits in the LCD screen with a blank border all around, or maybe even make it custom resizeable as in a program window ( without changing the resolution)?
