Guest knitterwolf Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Hi: I got a BIG PROBLEM.. I was trying to re-install my printer, & it said I had too little space on my C:/drive - so I went into Add/Remove programs, & got rid of 'something' that I needed.. Anyway, I re-booted the computer & now I got BIG icons on desktop.. Besides that, when I re-tried to install my printer, it says that my 'current setting' is 1 bit, & 'recommended setting is 16 bit' - which I can't change.. How do I get back to the 'normal size' icons, & change that 1 bit to 16 bit?? HELP?!?! PLEASE?? I need this help A.S.A.P!!!!!!
