This sometimes happens when you install an older game on a Windows XP computer. All you have to do is "right click" on the desktop, select "properties" the select the "settings" tab, there you will be able to set the computers screen resolution.

Good luck...hope this helped..

The program you installed modified the resolution of your video card. You can set the resolution back by right-clicking an empty area of the desktop, selecting the "Properties" command, clicking the "Settings" tab and then dragging the "Screen Area" slider to a higher resolution. Then click "OK", and then, depending on the settings, the resolution will change, you will be asked to confirm your changes or you will have to reboot your computer.
Try the different available resolutions untill you find the one you like best.

First, you would go to the start menu, and then to "Settings", and then to "Control Panel." In the control panel window, you'll find an icon that says "Display," so go there, and then click on the "Appearance" Tab. You could change the values of "font size" or click on the "Effects" button and uncheck "Use large icons."
That should be able to fix the "large-icon" problem. Good Luck!!
