    whats wrong with my laptop

    any laptop buffs on here, my pages seem to be all pushed together, when i open a page all the words seem to be pushed together and i have to click the page a few times for it to open so i can read it, just like when i open on here so many lines will be repeated and squashed together

    Never come across that before.

    Just enter it as a (short) question on google search.

    - like...'why are words pushed together on the page ?'

    Just searched myself, and so far, nothing.

    That's why you should always have a backup computer...even if it's a wind-up one (like this one ).

    Have you expanded the page ???? maybe it is on 'plus' %

    Look down at the bottom right just above the clock in the corner. does it say 100% if not click the arrow icon next to it and return it to 100%

    Just a thought.......


    Oh.... mate, if you didn't buy that nice new iphone for Emm, you could have a nice shiney new laptop... and no problems
    If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

    to tell the truth steve, thats why i have been a little quite on here, it does my head in trying to clear the pages, but it seems to be a little better tonight, and Ems iphone is being paid for with the help of Em, new laptop is on its way once i convince myself i need one

    I'm sure you don't need a new laptop steve...just a solution.

    If I can make this old heap of scrap work perfectly after 9 years...

    Ooops....sorry computer. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. ....and I have just given you a nice new graphics card...the one I bought 3 years ago and forgot to return to PC world...that I thought wouldn't fit....but now find that it does.

    Steve - what browser are you using? on the Menu there should be a HELP option and then ABOUT which shows the version number.

    Just bear in mind there is a scam going on at the moment where some idiot calls you and says they are from Microsoft and calling about fixing your PC.. ive had a few calls recently so beware.

    You can try a system restore, which will back date your laptop to a date that you nominate before it went loopy. I would try a few other things first as this would be a last resort for me as you will lose any information on the laptop that was added from the date you restore it from to the present day.

    I had an Indian on recently trying to do this scam - it threw him when I told him I'd had his colleague on the day before, the PC was running worse than ever and I wanted a refund

    Yeah they have been Indian in my experience.
    The thing is these people just 'war dial' and quite a few people have been scammed. It makes PC World look like saints!

    I had the same call about a year ago googled the scam and it seems there's a town in India where it is the main earner
