Among the many problems I've got right now, one of them has been with my computer. I'm unable to defrag. I won't go into the specifics other than to say I keep getting an error message telling me I need to run ScanDisc, but ScanDisc keeps giving me an error message that it can't do it because a Windows program is running and has to be shut off. I've been trying almost continuously since this morning to get it fixed, with no luck. However, somewhere in my attempts I've hit a wrong button of some kind and increased the size of the print. Everything in email and internet is so big it won't fit on the screen and I can't find the button to click on to get it back to a smaller size. Does anyone know what I need to do to decrease the size of the print?

I can help you with the size of your print. Go up into the browser at the top under view and you should see text size click on that and you will see text sizes. This is how I do it with Internet explorer anyway. As for defraging, I can't do it if my Norton antivirus is open and I have to shut down my task scheduler.I have these icons in my task bar and I just right click on the icon and you can pause them. See if this helps. Oh yes, shut down any Instant messaging programs too.

Thanks for the help Becky. I did what you suggested and everything is still too large but maybe when I shut down my computer and open it again the sizes will be OK. As for the degragging and ScanDisk, there was nothing else running that I know of and it still wouldn't work. I'll try again when I have unlimited time to play around with it.
