Post a screenshot please!.

which windows do you mean?, normally just clicking the top part of a window and dragging it with your mouse will work!. :D

Hi Wolfman, I think he means using the Windows key and cursor keys - like you could in 6! ;)

Hi,

SORRY!, I typed the comand wrong earlier, I have since corrected it!.

The correct command is:

Code:
lspci


Do not upgrade your system to 14.04 otherwise it will become a bog standard Ubuntu and all the Zorin look & feel will be gone!.

See the update guide for more info about updating and updating to the next higher version:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

You can do a quick full update with this command:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f


Your screenshot may be something to do with the picture desktop setting, open Tweak Tool > Desktop > Picture Options and look at the setting there, your pics may not be capable of being zoomed!.

If you want to do anything as root:

Press Ctrl + Al + t (terminal) and enter the following command:

Code:
gksudo nautilus


which will give you root privileges as long as you leave the home folder open!.

Let us know if this helps. :D
