1426675 2016-09-30 07:19:00 My lappy died and I sent it in for a warranty repair.
4 days latter the warranty repair people ring me, from Melbourne and say is NWR (not worth repairing).
I was not happy and they said would refund the full purchase price.
So they emails a gift voucher for $488 for JB hiFi and twas not happy, but told thats all.
So we bits bullet and buys new lappy on sale.
Was a $1000 and we pays $300 something, so cheap computer.
I still not got the hang of win 10, so I have 2 small issues.
One, the mouse runs up about 4 or 5 pages when I scroll and screen is to small for my 64 year old eys to see.
On XP was an easy fix, but I just cant figure this one out.
Thats for advice, greatfully received.

1426676 2016-09-30 08:13:00 Right click the start Button - Control Panel - ( Change the View, top Right to what ever you like - I change to Large Icons)

7513

AND there is your old style control panel, all settings in the same place as earlier editions :)

Mouse control for example
7514
Some ( like the display/ Change Display Settings) will open the newer Settings window,BUT it will open to the setting you are looking for. ( may be in advanced options on same page), but you'll be in the right area.

Spot on, thanks, with Control Panel.
Thats the one we all know and love.
Now to adjust the screen.
Thanks for the help :)

1426678 2016-10-02 03:13:00 Can someone please help with my screen issue.
Seems to be,,, stretched.
Almost no top line, so can not read whats on top left and can only just reach the top right commands.
Same with bottom row.
Sides the same
I've tried changing the aspect, to no avail.
Thanks,
Ian
