Today I turned on my computer and was using it some 20 minutes. Then all of a sudden, it jumps to one and a half times its normal size. The vertical was squished and the horizontal stretched. I can no longer see the entire board at the top of the page. Sometimes I can move it over with the mouse; sometimes I can not. Usually (about six times today) I have to manually shut the machine off, and unplug it from the wall, to get rid of this glitch.

It has been happening on and off all day today. Never happened before. Sometimes, it will just snap back to standard size, but usually I have to turn it off and start over. Has this happened to anyone else? And is there any thing I can do here to keep it from doing this, without taking it in for a tweaking? Very disruptive.

I am not running the virus magnet: windows xp home, but the windows 2000 professional. Cpu is out of warranty, since it is more than one year old and unit was reformatted by others.

Steve. I did try the F 11 key thing already, but it resolves nothing.

I found the answer to this problem. The monitor was the culprit. A seven year old MAG unit. The monitor would click - very light sound - almost couldn't hear, just before it jumped to the larger image.

I extended this question out, - time dated, only to alert others who might be experiencing a similar problem. Fortunately I had another cpu to test this hypothesis out on. Bingo! everything went back to the normal size. So, I just grabbed an old monitor to use in its place until I can get something more suitable. Hopes this helps anyone else.

Did you use some applications that might have triggered the change in screen size. I noticed that when I play my PC game for the pre-XP windows OS, the screen became larger. It also happens when I play some PC games for XP Windows OS too. Usually when I have shut down the applications, the screen size goes back to normal.
Try tweaking it from the Display Properties. Right click on your Desktop, and choose Properties. Choose Settings tab.
Or test and try opening the applications that you are using to single out the problem.

A queen-length mattress isn't 6'x6' sq....that's 60" huge or 5' huge so width sensible you will possibly have 3' on the two fringe of the mattress in case you place it on a protracted wall. in case you pick greater area on one area,all you unquestionably need on the different area is eighteen" for bedmaking and that frees up 40-one/2 feet on the different area which might show you how to place a 4'cloth cabinet on the comparable wall and double its use as a bedside stand. that's accessible to in good shape the mattress in yet there merely isn't room for plenty else. the version in convenience between a queen-length and an entire length makes it efficient nevertheless.
