I tried to reformat my computer by booting windows from the CD and now all my font is large. I have followed all troubleshooting tips on changing the font size but it is not working. I also am having trouble reinstalling my drivers. I put in the Utilities and Drivers CD that came with my computer but it didn't work. My warranty is up on my computer so I can't call dell. Can someone help?

As far as the font size, the problem is probably the screen resolution. Right click on a blank area on your desktop, and select properties.Go to the settings tab, and you'll have a scroll bar near the bottom. Move it to the right to select a higher resolution (smaller characters). That should fix that problem.
As for your drivers, first make sure that the hardware isn't already configured and working. (XP) recognizes a lot of hardware. If this doesn't work, go to the add hardware wizzard and when prompted, browse to the proper directory on the CD.

Dells have a restoration disk that you are able to use to wipe the puzzling pressure sparkling and reinstall each and every thing that became there once you first were given it. in basic terms placed it into the pressure, and restart your pc. you should have the alternative of thoroughly formatting the puzzling pressure and then reinstalling abode windows, and likely an option decision to backup the old stuff into an finished separate folder.

Call tech support sure they will charge an arm and a leg but it's better to be safe than sorry.
