So I fired up my laptop after about 6 mos
and the display was like 1/4 the size of the screen. I know there's a quick fix for this, anyone know it?

4. Get to desktop, right click, select "Properties"

and see if there's a setting there (eg, "Display" or "Settings") that needs to be adjusted? :shrug:

5. Look on the left next to the windows flag
see that key that says "Fn" ? Press that, and F7 at the same time

8. Actually I'm rife with computers
I have lost count of how many I have, seriously, between work (10 plus) home(5) home V2.0 ( 3)

The laptop was under a pile of towels in the guest room. I just remembered, there's one inside my Marshall amp!
