Just restarted my laptop for the first time in probably a month and when I go back on to chrome everything seems to have been enlarged, not just the webpages but the tabs at the top and address bar aswell. Anyone else had this and know how to make it go back to being smaller?

not sure, could you try holding down CTRL and pressing the minus key.. might help. Or right click on desktop, go to display settings and check there?

Sounds like your web browser is zoomed in. Hold CTRL and 0 to reset it

Ive tried this but this just resets the webpage size not tue actual chrome program itself, thanks for the suggestion though

 

Tried resetting Chrome? Settings>Show advanced settings then scroll all the way to the bottom. If not that then reinstalling.

Inherited an old desktop which doesn't get past the Windows loading page... I reformatted the hard drive (with my desktop) and it worked - booted and everything.... Moved the hard drive back to the old desktop and turned it on but it doesn't boot again! Just gets stuck on the "Windows is loading" screen.

 

Don't get it? .. As I have inherited it all I'm not sure how good the components are, but I can't work out why it would turn on but not boot Windows. 

 

Anybody have any ideas? @DB11 ?

Did you run diagnostics on the hard drive with your desktop machine before reformatting? I would do that to make sure the hard drive is working.

If it's an old desktop is the hard drive set to primary so that the BIOS knows to boot to the hard drive and not just thinking it's a slave?

Ah, no I didn't run diagnostics.

 

It's that old it's IDE lol I changed it to boot from that in the BIOS but it just freezes. Even when it does that 'Windows will start in 30, 29, 28 ...' it doesn't get past 0.

Not in the BIOS there's actual physical jumpers you need to move on the hard drive
