- TFToast - 03/17/2017
- @we can't have nice giraffes I (re?)installed some windows updates, and some of the more annoying problems, but I still need to change the text every time I log on. I can give more information a bit later when I have computer access again
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/17/2017

- teag - 03/17/2017
- good idea making a channel for this
- March 20, 2017
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/20/2017
- @TFToast Sorry for forgetting about this. Have a better description of the problems?
- TFToast - 03/20/2017
- I've been busy with schoolwork, so I probably won't have computer access until the weekend
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/20/2017
- Okay, ping me then.
- TFToast - 03/20/2017
- Although every time I restart the computer, my bookmarks are deleted and the text font is reset
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/20/2017
- text font in what
- TFToast - 03/20/2017
- The text font basically system-wide has changed
- I'll find th screenshot I took
- Sp33d0n - 03/20/2017
- I remember it.
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/20/2017
- ...what
- checked for viruses?
- TFToast - 03/20/2017
- I'm on mobile, so I can't get the screenshot myself, but search up "okay, something happened to my computer while I was gone" and it should be around there
- I have not
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/20/2017
- you should do that
- but thanks
- Could also be screen dpi settings being changed for the font.
- TFToast - 03/20/2017
- It seems to look fine when I put ClearType on, but I need to do that every time I open up the computer(edited)
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/20/2017
- Yeah, screen dpi.
- March 25, 2017
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- @we can't have nice giraffes I have computer access again, are you available?
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- Sure.
- So what's happening?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- Well, every time I log into my computer, the text goes all wierd until I turn ClearType on
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- screenshot?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- I'll have to relog
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- It would be useful.
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- Hmm.
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- comparison
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- So cleartype text looks like how it used to be?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- yes
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- So your problem is that cleartype is off by default?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- aye
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- How are you turning on cleartype?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- on windows 7: start menu, control panel, appearance and personalization, fonts, adjust cleartype text
- oh, there is another thing
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- ?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- I'll have to find something fullscreen to display it though
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- Try running cttune as admin.
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- I couldn't print screen without closing that box that's popped up, so that's the best I could do for pictures
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- What's the problem with the image (Haven't used windows in 5 or so years, sorry).
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- The alt+tab box doesn't look right
- usually it's a translucent box, rather than grey
- :^) - 03/25/2017
- Perhaps you acccidentally changed windows themes?
- That looks like a box from a separate windows theme.
- I can't remember how to change it back, but you use Windows 7, correct?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- hm, that probably could have reset when everything else happened
- yeah, I think I know how
- messed about with the themes, and no luck with that
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- Hmm
- uhh
- how did it get like this
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- I'm not really sure
- It was during the week, so I wasn't at the computer
- theedgeofstevensknife - 03/25/2017
- sometimes my vista theme isn't accessible for whatever reason?
- and so it defaults to the dumbass base windows theme
- it's dumb
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- My brother says that he doesn't know, but he was the only one using it during that time
- theedgeofstevensknife - 03/25/2017
- like, eventually it sorts itself out but i have no idea what causes that
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- You on the aero theme?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- Me or insert?
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- You.(edited)
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- yeah
- hm
- I switched from a theme and back, and now it looks fine
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- Okay.
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- I'll try restarting again to see if that's affected the text at all
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- If it doesn't, open cttune as administrator and enable cleartext from there.
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- Alright
- okay, no luck on either of those
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- Hmm.
- Were you able to set it from ctune when ran as admin?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- yes
- cttune as admin worked the same way as regular cttune
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- Virus checked already, right?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- Oh, no.
- I'll do that.
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- Scan finally finished, nothing popped up
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- One moment.
- So
- Did you click run as administrator
- or logged in as an admin(edited)
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- with cttune?
- yeah
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- "did you do this or that
- yes"
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- oh
- ran as administrator
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- ok
- uhh
- google's not helping
- Try this:
- Run cttune as admin
- then
- Uncheck turn on cleartype
- and click next on every thing without clicking anything(edited)
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- okay
- done
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017
- works now?
- TFToast - 03/25/2017
- I'll try restarting again
- nope, nothing
- we can't have nice giraffes - 03/25/2017

- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- This might just be the fact that I live in Australia, but my PC has been turning on slowly, and Steam isn't updating my brother's game.
- Halp?
- @Pope ?
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Have you tried checking for it with your anti-virus software? I seem to recall that when you tried to do that, it took a really long while to finish the scan so that's uh. kind of abnormal. So maybe you want to try Malwarebytes to see if it would make a difference.
- And about Steam not updating your brother's game, it's most likely just the internet at play here tbh if this has only been recent too
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- Ok
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- If you're gonna download Malwarebytes, go do it & say what the results are.
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- I already have Malwarebytes.
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Hm, strange.
- Try doing a scan again?
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- Installed, Dad won't pay for it.
- "AVG is better"
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Are there any resource heavy programs that start up each time the computer starts up? If so, try to disable their being able to start up. Yikes Avg is ehh
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- In all honesty, I have no clue.
- Scanning...
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Ok good.
- Does your browser have any extensions, aside from Adblock?
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- I don't have AdBlock.
- Yes.
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Hmm
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- Google Drive and some AVG Shit.
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Okay, good to hear
- You might want to invest in uBlock Origin
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- At elast, that's what I see.
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Hmm
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- What's that?
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Just a low energy adblockerexcept it's super efficient
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- Okay.
- We're in the File System now.
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Also, is your account admin? If so, try to go to Control Panel and find the system portion. Once you're there, click on the title that says something about drives, and click on disk defragmenter if the options there. It gets rid of unnecessary files that have bulked over time, might help the computer a bit better. Once you're done with this I mean(edited)
- Okay good
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- No, it isn't.
- Mine is not an Administrator account.
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Drat*
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- Of course it isn't. My dad doesn't trust me (but I know more about Computers than my parents combined so...)
- Pope - 03/26/2017
- Well you can ask your dad if you can get admin access? Or just go on the admin account maybe somehow
- True
- Let me know if stuff shows up during the scan btw
- Sp33d0n - 03/26/2017
- Alright.
- I'll give you the inevitable list.
