    I am using a "home" tower and a "15 monitor. Too small. Is there a way I can make the desktop icons larger even if they have to be rearranged? What about increasing the overall text size for general viewing? The smaller monitor displays the entire page. My 19 means I need to move the page more often to see each side. I use both IE and FOX. The solution would need to apply to the display and both browsers. Any ideas? Also are there ANY codecs, processes, software, that would allow the general purpouse media player to play COPY PROTECTED dvds? Only windows "classic" can do that. The latest version of VLC will not work at all on either tower. Is there a player with codecs, software included that CAN play CP discs? reeltoreelguy@yahoo.com

    thank you for the advice rbrock. You sound very savvy so I will ask this as well. For the same tower is there a way I can replace home with xp pro? I ask because the wmp9 on PRO is NOT the same design as wmp9 on HOME. The HOME tower is an HP PAVILLION of current design. I DO NOT have the xp pro cd rom, nor will I buy one at retail. So any way you suggest I do this will need to be done via the net and web only. I am a novice so if you feel this feasable for me than I would appreciate full instructions from you and any links you feel will be useful.Thank you.

    IT might help if you split up questions to the right threads

    You can upgrade to XP Pro if you own a copy no problem you can download WMP 11 from Windows I like it better than WMP 10
