Hey you may need to defrag your system. with all of those pictures opening up it probably overloaded your RAM and to compensate for the lack of memory when you opened everything back up it changed the settings to suit the needs it still run your computer.

I had the same thing happen to me, and so I just left the defrag do its thing. It cleared up all the mess that had happened when I opened all of those pics and by morning everything was back to normal.

NOTE: If you have a lot of files on your computer like I did, you may want to leave the defrag overnight, it will take awhile and you will only make things worse if you try to run any programs with it running in the background.

Hope this helps.

Stay Kool!

OT ...computer question & help for those who might know

Couple days ago after downloading and extracting a bunch of pics from a wetlook producer noticed a few problems.

First off, I accidentally extracted and opened all the pics, around 160 or so, onto my desktop. Filled up my desktop and then some, putting quite a few off the screen! Had to dump all those in the trash.

Noticed when I open some websites like Goggle and ebay everything's smaller, smaller type, pics, etc. Even all the text in the Wetlook Forum looks smaller. I changed NOTHING on my settings. Goggle use to fill up the screen when opened, now it's smaller text and search box just in the middle of the screen. And the pics on ebay were larger as well as the type.

Also, the computer seems to be running a bit slower, not bad but I noticed some slower. Like opening folders appears to have slowed down.

Anyone who knows computers better than I have any suggestions? I had a browser hijack a couple years ago and got valuable and excellent adivice from some others on the forum.

Thanks in advance!
