I didn't know it had a video card, whatever that is. I suppose that's stuck
in the box where I wouldn't notice it.
My previous computer man installed the new monitor.
I change the size myself down at the bottom right corner. I usually have
125. That loses the side of the screen, but as that's only ads on Google
they are not missed!

PLESE SET THAT BACK TO 100% YOU ARE DOING THE wrong THING AGAIN.

Get this imaginary Computer man/boy to set it up correctly.

You keep referring to this thing or person but he never does a thing.


This screen size thing goes back 6 months or more, Please explain
that..?

I just change it whenever I want to. It goes 100,125 and 150. Changing it
doesn't seem to do any harm
I need bigger type to read some things, especially Facebook.

My present computer man knows what he is doing, which is more than I do with
the technical stuff!

No, most of what I look up doesn't seem to be from any particular country.

Not so. If you're on a google.com page and you suddenly want an nz
specific search, just add site:nz to your search criteria.

In fact you might like to go to "Advanced" search. It exists, I have tried
it and lost interest.
