    It is still doing this nonsense. This morning I was reading a web page and all of a sudden the page just enlarged as big as it would go so I shut the browser down and clicked on an empty space on the desktop and everything on my desktop enlarged as much as it could.

    I restarted the computer and everything was okay for awhile and I noticed that after that happened even my file extensions on all my graphics etc had stopped showing so I went into a folder and fixed that. But now it is doing it again.

    When all this happens if I try to type it just types the way it wants to. It will make a capital letter where I didn't type in caps or it won't type or it brings up like a google search box or a folder from somewhere.

    So I restarted this thing and now here I am.

    I would format & reinstall. Don't trust a previously compromised system.

    I did that a few days ago. Thank you for replying Ari. This computer reminds me of a used car,if it's not one thing it's another!
