  1. Can't Read Many Web Pages


    In tweaking to increase performance speed, I must have done something awful because now I can't read the text on many web pages (see TenForums sample of page 5 of this forum below).

    Can't find a way to change it back to good old days. I'd greatly appreciate some tips to correct my mis-deeds. Thanks.

    Narrator - want it to narrate just the text I choose...

    1.how do I get it to read text and not all the technical information about the web page etc.

    2. Plus, how do I select text to read out? When I highlight it it just says "highlighted" ! Sometimes I get a square border and it reads that but I can't see how to always select with a square border rather than the highlight tool.

    Many thanks!

  3. saving web pages on 6300 or 5310

    Hello,

    I'm a newcomer to mobile browsing and I'm interested in getting either a Nokia 6300 or 5300. Are either of those phones able to download web pages and open and read them (using the Galleries feature)? I'm asking as not many phones with web browsing can also
    save web pages and read them. It's very useful for me as I can keep some pages handy without having to download on the go (especially when travelling in another country--avoid roaming data charges). Thanks for your help, Seb

    Is it all sites, what browser, what did you do?

  5. Yes, all sites (or nearly all, those that mainly use gifs and jpgs are fine). Chrome mostly and sometimes Firefox.

    I followed a bunch of tips from online reading to speed up program launches and web pages. Somehow, I think I altered the intensity of fonts.

    Here's an example of pix being fine and text fading away.

  6. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling your browser(s)?
    Have you tried a system restore to a point before this started?
    Is this just in your browser or is it system wide on your machine?
    Is this the same in Edge or other browsers?

  7. Hi Indy...thanks for responding.
    Yes, I did a System Restore, but only back to the MS KB updates...is it ok to go back further?
    No, I didn't uninstall and reinstall my browsers. I don't think it's a browser problem because fonts in many (not all) menus are faded out in various software.
    I rarely use Edge...usually Chrome and Firefox.
    Here is this morning's example of why I rarely use Edge:
    This page is having a problem loading
    We tried to load this page for you a few times, but there is still a problem with this site. We know you have better things to do than to watch this page reload over and over again so try coming back to this page later.
    That was the response to a Bing search.

    Grrrr!

    These problems do not exist on my backup computer, so I must have fouled up pretty bad on the main machine. Perhaps I just need to find step-by-step instructions on how to enhance font readability.

    Did you make any changes in Advanced System Settings\Advanced Tab\Performance

  11. Yes, Cliff...I did...but I chose not to use any animations or shadows as they wouldn't be helpful and they probably slow things down a bit.

    But, with all these in force, I don't see an improvement.

    You could try running the following in an admin command prompt(click 3 times fast, to select all, then copy it), and see if it corrects some of the changes you made:

    Code: fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\&fsutil usn deletejournal /d /n c:&Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase&pause[/quote] Or just download this batch file(it's the same thing), open up properties & unblock it, then right click and run as admin:

    ClassicMaint.bat

    Thank you very much, Cliff. I have downloaded and unblocked it. I also made a new Restore Point.

    Question: Does this batch file return everything to "plain vanilla"...original MS version before Winaero?

    Not everything, but it makes fixes to any changes in System32 and SysWOW64, that some use for tweaking & customizing Windows. It also repairs broken Windows files by using a new original copy(downloaded from Microsoft). And it cleans up the component store(WinSxS folder)..

  15. Well, old friend, you were right again.

    Partially.

    Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Big improvement today.

    Same actions with Chrome did not have any affect.
