Uncontrolled Zoom / Can't Scroll The File Up Or Down
Nov 10, 2007
Dell620D :Every time ,when I'm connecting a projector (or an external LCD Screen) to my laptop, the following are happening:
1. When I'm opening any doc file (Word 2007) or PPT file, the file appears with the maximum zoom (400%), without the ability to change back the zoom to 100%.Also, I can't scroll the file up or down !
2. The resolution of the projector's screen and the laptop's screen is changing (Once I'm click on "Fun F8"), so I can see it all as a 200% Zoom.Refer to the expert's diagnostic:
Once I'm replacing my HardDisk by another one, the phenomenon is disappear, which mean, we have to format the HD & re-install the XP.

Often when I start my computer my CPU usage reaches 100% even though no programs are running. When I go to reboot it, an "End Program - Zoom In" window pops up and I have to click on OK to end the program for the computer to shut down. It seems obvious to me that this "Zoom In" program is using all my resources but I don't know how to keep it from starting - and it doesn't always start.My computer is an Acer TravelMate 2300 with an Intel Celeron 1500 Mhz processor and 1.23 Ghz of RAM, Windows XP Home Edition SP2. I have AVG anti virus and run AVG Spyware, Ad-Aware, and SpyBot regularly.

I was playing a game (sims2), and after closing it down everything on my desktop looks like it's all stretched or zoomed in on and the font is like the font from the game(?!) - now my only problem is I can't get it to go back to normal. It's not that the windows or font have been changed in the display properties. Even when I look at my photos they are all stretched out of wack too!Please help! Because this has happened on my hubbies work computer.

Dell Latitude 810D probably about 4 years old running XP Pro SP3. The following has happened a few times in last 18 months but reboot has always solved problem - today it continues even after reboot. No new software has been added recently; anti-virus program runs in background all the time and full sys scan every night. Dell tech support says it is a software issue. I am not getting any error messages, just screen magnification that has not been asked for by user.
When opening Firefox or MSWord initially the web page (or word document) looks normal at a reasonable text point size, but within a few seconds it progressively zooms larger to over flow the screen. In Firefox it looks like 1,600% in Word it seems to go to 500%. In either application using the menu or keyboard shortcut to restore screen to a more readable text size only retains that for a few seconds before it zooms and over flows the screen. Usually clicking on the scroll bar to move vertically is erratic and even though you click to go down on the page the screen seems to jump downward but then back up on its own.
As I said, rebooting typical would solve things but not today. Using the computer of a friend as my laptop is impossible to work with. Typing text in browser search, or Word, or email program because of the magnification becomes nearly impossible to track. I have not tried other apps, but the magnification is consistent except that with Internet Explorer things automatically zoom out making things at about 12% size.
Not sure this is an operating system issue but was not sure which forum to post this in. I am currently running a full system scan (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010). Desktop looks normal (icons and text labels look the same size that they always do; Windows Explorer also looks normal. Thanks for any assistance.

I've been using XP Pro for a few years now. However, on my last re-install I left off ACDSee and was just going to use XP's own settings for viewing photos. I'm now using SP2.I was certain that in the 'filmstrip' setting for photos there was a 'Zoom IN/OUT' option - am I wrong? I'm using TweakUI + TweakXP Pro 4, I've checked everywhere but I can't find anywhere that the zoom option has been unchecked? Is it there or can I enable it somehow?

Anybody know how to permanently set the Zoom function for every Explorer page you open to different than the set 100%.The reason is I have just purchased a new 20" widescreen and it seems the only method of obtaining larger screen inages using the recommended resolution.Everything is so small! Each page I open I have to keep manually altering the zoom function and when working on quite a few pages at a time its getting tedious!

Using Windows XP . ASUS AMD socket A.The official Logitech website directs you to various driver inspector software which scans your computer and identifies driver updates needed. Very nice, but they all charge $30 to download the updates. I may be mean but I thought updates of this kind should be free. Where can I find a free update for my webcam driver please?

I need the name of the .inf file that the hardware wizard needs to install this webcam. The Logitech QuickCam Zoom v.8.4.6 software installs but the hardware wizard says that a required inf file cannot be found. I spoke with Logitech support and they had me uninstall the software using Add/Remove, then delete Logitech folders, and edit the registry to remove all references to Vid_046, then perform a clean boot. Reinstalled the software, when it said to restart, I clicked no, then changed msconfig back to normal startup, then rebooted. Upon reboot, I get the Logitech splash screen saying to connect camera to pc. When I do, the hardware wizard starts but gives the error that the .inf file cannot be found and the Logitech screen says that no camera was connected. (Should I have rebooted, connected camera, then changed msconfig back to normal startup?) I ran services.msc and find that Human Interface Device Access is Disabled. Could this be keeping the system from finding the..inf file?

My laptop (Toshiba) used to have a feature where if you clicked on the right side of mousepad, you could drag the page up and down, similar to the scroll wheel on mouses if you click them down.Anyways, a few months ago, I upgraded my computer to Windows Vista. And I hated it. So I used my restore disk, to get back to Windows XP. Well, when I went back, this feature wasn't working. Today I used an IBM computer, and it had this feature, and it reminded me of how often I used to use it.So my question is if there is any way to re-program this feature? My laptop also used to have a feature that if you held your finger on a corner of the mousedpad, it would open up a different menu, depending on how you configured it. That feature doesn't work either. I don't care if I get that feature back, I'm just assuming the two issues are linked.

Probably a simple question. I just deleted some files, and programs, and now when I read a page on the net, it doesnt scroll smoothly, rather is wavy(if that makes sense) did I turn something off that allows smooth scrolling?

I clicked on a movie which I have saved and watched before and is supposed to play in iTunes, after I clicked on the movie to watch it my task bar at the bottm of the screen went black... the start menu wouldn't come up, and the scroll bar thing on my touchpad stopped working. So I rebooted, by using ctrl alt del then selecting shut down, then turn off.

There is no sound driver, what can I do to correct this If I'm on the internet and scrolling down either with roller or dragging it down, it doesn't go smoothly. I am coming from Ubuntu, a friend put xp on here. I would also like to know if dual-booting would be easy to do.

I always use the middle mouse wheel to click on links that way they come up in another tab. Today, it's not working and it's driving me nuts!I love searching by opening links this way! What happened to my mouse? It's a Dell, came with my computer, and hooks up in the serial port in back of the computer.

My mouse and keyboard has both started to behave strange.
1.The mouse scroll wheel works sometimes when surfing on internet , but most of the time it does not. It works fine when typing in Word.
2.The mouse pointer jumps around randomly.
3.The left mouse button sometimes behaves as if it is the right button.
4.Sometimes the computer seems to freeze and will not respond to mouse commands. This can be “reset” by ctrl+alt+delete, and choosing “switch to” the program I was working in. This can happen even when only one program is running.
5.Sometimes the mouse seems to left-click and drag by itself.
6.The keyboard sometimes misses letters that I press

Turned the computer on today and Windows will not load, gets as far as the black Windows XP page with the loading scroll bar. Nothing happens beyond that. Everything was working fine yesterday and nothing was downloaded or installed to indicate where to start looking. Tried installing 1GB RAM last month to no avail and took it out. Things have been okay since. Have read some posts that suggest using the Windows install CD to repair whatever but I didn't get one with the computer only have the Windows recovery disk.

All i want is to disable the middle-mouse button click while on firefox/internet explorer. (ie. you click your scroll wheel and a little circle with two arrows pops up and you just move your mouse around to scroll)

When I use the right mouse button, the menu that should appear doesn't. It
is invisible until I scroll the mouse cursor over where it should be. I
changed the appearance from XP to Classic and back. That changed the drop
down menus back.They were doing the same thing.

If your list of software in "All Programs" starts going off the screen you can return to the old style of having them scroll,this also makes them all expand to the right and not on top of each other, which makes selection easier.Goto start - control panel - taskbar and start menu - start menu - customise advanced - and then scroll down start menu items list, near bottom is the choice to "scroll programs", tick it and apply , ok all screens and your done.
