At the beginning of this week, I had to reset the whole of my computer and this has affected my Microsoft Paint meaning that on some of the nets the writing including the vinyls and number plates is not coming out as clear as they used to. If anyone knows hwo to change this to how it was, please let me know. Thank you!

  1. 1. Is it still MS paint?
    2. If it is are you using size 5 arial in it for number plates
    3. What version of windows are you now using?


    Hope this helps, sorry if doesn't!

    1. Answers:

      1. Yes, it is still Microsoft Paint.
      2. I have always used and am still using Calibri size 6 for number plates.
      3. I used to have Windows 8.1 so then rest the whole computer and it went to Windows 8, this is when I noticed the change, then I upgraded it back to Windows 8.1 but it continues to be different to how it was before I reset it.

      I don't know if you've got any suggestions based on this. Thanks for your help! I've just checked the nets on here and the two 'crimson' Enviro200s and the two pink Enviro400s are the ones affected with the less clear writing but it doesn't look like too much of a difference on here.

    2. If you change your font to that of 'Small Fonts' and on size 5 then that should work better.

      Thats what I do anyway!

    3. What I do anyway is use Ariel size 5 for number plates.
