Now, this is really odd.

At work I have an HP desktop PC with Win7. 99% of the time it runs like a dream. The only thing that slow sit down is trying to open or save files directly in Outlook (I've told IT they screwed up royally, as the machine runs perfectly <w>).

But it does something really odd, too. After a few hours working, the fonts, icons, etc. get larger. When I check the display settings, they are exactly the same. They don't change, but everything looks bigger on the screen.

Odd.

I haven't reported it to IT because otherwise the PC is running perfectly, and I don't want them to screw it up.

difference between monitor settings and windows settings? a chip that gets warm somewhere?

Sometimes I find my screensaver running at high speed. Not sure if it's a bug, but in all these million line coded systems there's bound to be unfound glitches.

In the old days of Win95, my brother and I experimented a great deal with themes and screen savers. Some did things no one has ever been able to explain.

I think if a change in screen visibility is the worse glitch in my PC, I should welcome it and never, ever try to fix it. My home PC often freezes to death, poor thing, when running Flash and/or Shockwave. The other day I had to reboot it three times in one hour.

PS maybe it's an Easter Egg that went rotten? ;)

Bad monitor? Hook it to another monitor
and see if that changes it.

Oh, another oddity:

I got my used iphone 4 without a charger. I simply bought a generic one (despite warnings not to). eventually I got a second one for the office and one for the car, all generic. They all work every time, without any problems so far.

The other day I was using the iphone charger at the office to charge a portable battery (never mind why). I asked a coworker to use his 100% original Apple brand charger and he let me. After a few minutes I went to check on the phone's progress, and there was a warning to the effect the charger was "probably" not geniuine and charging had been turned off. I reset it and it failed again.

So the one time the iphone had a problem with a charger, it was with an original 100% pure Apple-made one!

Despite all the warnings ;)
