my daughter has messed up my pc :(

[cella]

last night she was sitting in the office chair here messing around with the buttons..I thought it to be harmless play..this morning I woke up put on the pc and everything is wicked blury..the desktop..what I am typing now..it's really ****ing me up..can anyone suggest a way I might be able to fix this?

Tactile reboot.

You'd get a better response by placing this in the PC forum, and outlining the problem.

Resolution ****ed up?

Right click Desktop, go to Properties. Then the Settings tab. Now change that slider bar to something higher.

Just a guess like, I can't really say much more apart from that from what you say.

If she hasn't reset the resolution and a restart didn't help, then you could try de-gaussing your monitor. I'll admit, it's really unlikely to be that, but I've seen one instance of it being a problem.

Also try changing the refresh rate of the monitor. My monitor at home goes fuzzy and out of focus if I try to take it above 72hz.

Edit: Beaten to it.

Maybe your daughter is one of DA's 1337 Haxx0r friends.

I am thinking it may be in the monitor...I have 4 different buttons to push and I been pushing them like making the desk top wider and then smaller again but it doesnt seem to be working..the only problem I am having is with the words..every word is blury... unless by the work of goddess I just lost my vision overnight :unsure:

I tried the properties thing and the resolution seems to be all the way up..

[cella]

OOOO

how do I change the resolution rate?

I am sooooooo pc illeterate..it's actually annoying

[Tom Salter]

Change Refresh Rate cella.

How bad is the blurryness? Just minor, or really bad?

[Concept]

Properties - Settings - Advanced - Monitor - Screen refresh rate.

Alter from there.

[anephric]

Is it a TFT or CRT monitor? Text gets blurry in TFTs sometimes if you don't run it in its native resolution...

[SubparMario]

Is it a thin TFT monitor or a normal big CRT?

If it's a TFT then the desktop resolution has probably been set too low.

If it's a CRT then some of the monitors own settings have probably been messed up. Have a look and see if the monitor's own menu has an option for 'reset to factory default' or something similar.

[cella]

it's minor.. but it's enough to make you have to squint while your trying to read what people are typing..I am highly annoyed with it.

I have tried to refresh it but it's still blury I think I may of fecked with it more when I was messing around with the monitor buttons..oiiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
