Answer 1

★★ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ★★

◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first started. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. You should get both of them. Each one has information the other doesn't have. You'll learn cut, copy, paste, delete, making files, drag and drop and many many more helpful tricks.

◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. Only libraries can get an account at Firstsearch.org. So you need to go to the library to search it. When you find what you want have the librarian order it for you. Read it and then return it to them. :)

◙ Another great book is Windows XP Headaches. It teaches you how to fix many common and uncommon computer problems you'll run into with Windows XP.

◙ Smart Computing Magazine -- This is the number one magazine for Windows tips. They'll show you how to clean your registry, spyware, adware, and a zillion other tricks. There are quite literally hundreds of tips per issue. They even have an online database of tips, forums and chats. Their online version of the magazine is a lot cheaper.

◙ Microsoft Product Support -- Get updates to software, tips, tricks and a multitude of other things here.

◙ Microsoft Product Discussion Groups -- You'll need to signup for an MSN Passport Account to use these groups. But it's really worth your time. You'll receive better help here than anywhere else. If you want help with a product you didn't pay for don't tell them that you didn't pay for it. :)

Answer 2

I'm not clear about what you are trying to do, but here goes.

If all you want to do is change the overall size of the window you can move your cursor to the side edges and top & bottome edges of the window and the cursor will change to a double ended arrow. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the edges to the size you want the window.

If it's "resoloution" you want to change all you have to do is right click in any open area of the Windows Desktop window. Then click on Properties, then Settings, then slide the Screen Resolution bar to a higher level to reduce the size of what is displayed on the screen.

Hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

you need to be nice, inspite of the reality that i'd not use the Microsoft partition administration software. use power quest partition magic (now owned through Symantec). it really is totally sturdy. Do a disc photo again up first, employing a device like Macrium mirror. That way, if it is going incorrect, you could go back the 'sturdy' version.
