Ginnie

Have a DELL Laptop that just yesterday started entering info in a very funny
way -
It prints like this -
THAMNKS
O.K.
EXCEPT
MNY
COMNPUTER
IS
WRITIMNG
LIKE
THIS.
EXTRA
LETTERS
AMND
DOWMN
IMNSTEAD
OF
ACROSS.

Not sure what the problem is - but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
Ginnie,

Entering info into what application?

Check margins?

Example:

Outlook/DOS... have a wrap at 80 characters by default

--
Newbie Coder
(It's just a name)

You don't tell us what program is giving you the error,
but it appears to be your email program.

Go to IE and check page setup margins.
I suspect you have the right margin setting too large.
IE sets the margins for both the Internet and email printing

Before doing a reformat/install, download and burn BartPE to a CD and
use that to copy needed files to a second HD. There doesn't seem to be
a way to see USB drives with BartPE. There are plugins available though.
