Firefox Problem: All Font and Toolbar Too Big?
I was just on my computer about 30 minutes ago and EVERYTHING was completely normal. Then, I close out of everything I had up and when I return, EVERYTHING is too big. Now, I use Firefox as my default browser. The default font on every webpage is too big, as is the address bar and reload button and favorite button and back arrow, everything on the toolbar is too big too.
I could just pull back on the mouse pad and hold CTRL, yes but the problem with that is whenever I clear my history on the browser, everything returns to being too large again. It wasn't this is by default 30 minutes ago so I don't know why it's like that now. I've tried messing with the screen resolution, I've tried un-installing and reinstalling Firefox, I've tried going into "Options" and "Content" and that didn't work. I've tried bringing up Internet Explorer but everything was too large on that too. So it wasn't just Firefox that it's doing this with. So then I tried going into "Appearance and Personalization" in the Control Panel and messed with that. Nothing. So then I tried Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragment but none of that did anything either. I've tried shutting down the computer, turning it back on, nothing.
Nothing seems to work.. I didn't do anything when I was getting off of the computer to cause any of this to happen so I don't know what triggered it but I can't get it back to the way it was before. Any help is appreciated.

1 AnswerProgramming & Design8 years agoHelp with AVG 2013 License Error?
I was working on my sister's Windows 8 HP Laptop, she uses AVG Free and when it started up, something came up when I went onto the desktop and it was an AVG Pop-up saying that there was a license error. I looked into it and people were saying to uninstall and then reinstall AVG. So, I tried to do this but whenever I try to uninstall AVG, it says:
______________________________________…
"Toolbar install/uninstall failed"
Severity: Error
Error code: 0xC0070643
Error message: General internal error.
Additional message: The removal of the product failed.
@AVGMSI_Error27023
Toolbar install/uninstall failed (0xE001D000)
Context: Uninstallation of AVG, MSI action failed
______________________________________…
So after seeing that, I went to see if AVG was uninstalled and it wasn't. So, I went onto her browser and uninstalled the AVG toolbar she has installed on it. After this, I tried to uninstall AVG yet again but the same thing came up. Every time I try to uninstall it, the same thing comes up over and over again and I can't seem to find anybody with any recent reports of this or anybody dealing with this that uses Windows 8 as an operating system. Can someone help?

3 AnswersScanners8 years agoWhat Am I Doing Wrong with GIMP?
Okay, so I was trying to do some selective coloring. Y'know, where everything in a photo is black and white except for a certain object? I think I know how to do it already - I've done it previously. Of course you choose the image you want, then you duplicate the layer, make the top layer black and white and then erase whichever part you want colored. The layer underneath is the original colored image so when you erase anything from the top layer, the original layer will shine through. But for some reason, whenever I choose the eraser tool and I go to erase the area I want to be colored, instead of the bottom layer showing, whatever I erase turns white. What am I doing wrong? I even looked up tutorials and people seem to be having no problem doing it - whenever they erase, the color from the bottom layer pops up - not white. Apparently, it's only my retarded eraser tool.. so what's going on here? Can somebody help?
3 AnswersProgramming & Design8 years agoHaving Problems with HP Laptop, Runs Windows 8?
My sister has an HP Pavilion G6-2249WM laptop that she got a little over a month ago. It runs Windows 8, of course. She wasn't having any problems with it until Monday and some screen came up telling her that "your PC ran into a problem." She tried to elaborate on it but wasn't too good at it and said that she sent whatever the problems were to Microsoft and then tried to clean out her computer of anything that might've been causing this issue. So, it gets stuck at 27% for over four hours and in order to fix it, I had to reset her laptop to the factory state and she had to restart everything from scratch since she hadn't set a restore point for her laptop in case of said issue. Now, here we are a couple days later and it popped up again. Since doing what I did obviously didn't help, I thought I'd come to you guys. She wasn't trying to download or install anything either, she just woke up one morning and when she turned on her laptop, that's the screen she was greeted with. I took a screenshot of what's coming up on her laptop, if anybody could help me out, I'd be SO appreciative:

1 AnswerOther - Computers8 years agoFirefox Pauses When Opening New Tab?
I have a Windows 7 Laptop and for some reason - it didn't do this earlier, it happened out of nowhere - whenever I try to open a new tab with Firefox, it'll open up but then when I enter a URL into the address bar, it pauses for a few seconds before loading. At first it didn't bother me, I thought it was just taking a minute to load or that it was internet connection issues but it wasn't.. it's been hours now and my connection strength is maxed out. I cleaned out my computer and got rid of everything I didn't need and it still does it. I don't know what to do and I dunno why Firefox is pausing when I try to access a new site in a tab, any ideas?
1 AnswerOther - Internet8 years agoWindows 8 Wifi Problem: "Can not turn on"?
My sister just got a new laptop that came with Windows 8 installed. Her internet was a bit wonky for a little while and she comes to me and asks why her wifi went out. I asked her what she did but she said she didn't do anything, said it just stopped working. So, I went into her settings and her wifi was turned off and her laptop wasn't connected to ANY networks at all. It had the red X over her network bars. I tried to turn it back on but when I did, it said "can not turn on" so I tried again.. same thing. I've already tried going to numerous sites and trying everything they suggest but for some reason nothing seems to get the trick done. I don't know what else to do so.. help?
2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks8 years agoBut There's So Many To Choose From?
Of course, everybody knows of Johnny Cash's legend but it wasn't until recently I started really getting into his music. I wanna download some albums but there's been SO MANY albums by that dude, I don't know what to download. I'm looking for some of the later studio albums and I wish that narrowed it down some but there's still so many of them to choose from. So, I was wondering, what are your personal opinions on what Johnny Cash's best albums are? What would you recommend?

3 AnswersComics & Animation9 years agoYouTube Won't Play Videos For Me Anymore?
If I try to watch a YouTube video during the day, the screen stays black and the circular loading icon circles in the middle of the player as if the video's loading. However, when it's finished, it goes to a static screen saying "An error occurred. Please try again later." This started about 2 days ago and I don't know what in the world to do about it. It's really annoying and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I've already tried updating Flash to the most updated version but that didn't help at all and I know it's not my internet connection - it's good.
1 AnswerYouTube9 years agoHaving Trouble Playing Videos on YouTube?
I don't know why but just days ago, YouTube videos played fine for me.. no problem whatsoever. Yesterday morning and all day today, I can't get any videos to work now. Other people can, my friends have no problem with it at all but for some reason, they just won't play for me. All of the videos will load for so long and then say "an error has occurred" or the video just stays black and nothing comes up, same goes for the related/suggested videos. Does anybody know why they're not working for me or what I can do to make them start working again?

2 AnswersYouTube9 years agoAny Way To Rip Videos from Syfy.com?
I help support a fansite of a show on Syfy and they've recently uploaded new videos on their website of the show. There was someone on YouTube that would upload the videos just as Syfy did but they've stopped. So, I was wondering if there was anyway to take videos from Syfy's website in order to upload them to YouTube myself? I'd give credit of course and make sure I was allowed to upload them first as I have with everything else I've uploaded from the show. Is there anyway to take videos from Syfy's website?

1 AnswerLyrics9 years agoReally Annoying Minecraft Issues?
I bought Minecraft for my brother about a month ago and I was downloading mods for him. However, he wanted one to be deleted and he doesn't know how to do any of this himself. Neither do I. So, I looked up videos on how to do it and it said I had to delete the bin in .minecraft to do so. I deleted that and then, it said to start up Minecraft and it'll reinstall everything that's missing when it updates upon the launch. I launched Minecraft and it asked me if I wanted to update, of course I clicked "Yes."
However, when it loads, it gets to "Retrieving: lwjgl.jar" and it ALWAYS stops once it gets to 11%. I close out of it, try again, same thing. So I completely removed Minecraft from my computer and then re-installed to see if that helps. It does the SAME EXACT thing. I don't know what to do, I don't know how to fix this problem. I haven't found out a single way to fix it so if anybody could offer some help, thanks.
It'll stay at 11% for so long and then this comes up:
Fatal Error Occurred (4): failed to download lwjgl.jar
WTF?

I just got the game for my brother yesterday. However, the sound does not work AT ALL. There's no sound on the game whatsoever. Not only that but the game just randomly closes on its own. He'll be in the middle of playing it and everything just closes on its own. I didn't pay for that crap to happen, I don't know what's going on and this is the first time he or I have ever tried doing anything at all with Minecraft.
