Yesterday, all-of-a-sudden all the icons got larger, and the cursor got larger, and i cant fix it. I recently downloaded a bunch of demos. Maybe that has somthin 2 do with it. I know a-lot about cps, but obviously not enough.

Right click on your desktop select "Properties" then the "settings tab".
Try and move the ruler to 800 x 600 (1024 x768 after re-boot) and the colour to 32bit.
If this option is not available,ie it wont move/ work. Select " advanced" in the same window next to trouble shoot. Select the adapter Tab, if its "Unknown" then your video card has been uninstalled, the drivers are wrong, overwritten, corrupted or new beta versions that don´t work.
You´ve most probably accidently installed the wrong drivers form the demo CD, or some demo gaem has messed about with you sttings.
Best re-install your original video card drivers. re-boot.
P.S Whatever you do don´t do what hot honda (user below me) advises, this is not necassary.

That is probably where your problem lies.
I dont know what O.S your running. If your running XP i would suggest looking in system restore for a restore point just prior to your downloading demos. Otherwise, uninstall anything you've loaded, run a virus scan. Afterwards try adjusting the settings on the resolution. Otherwise, and i say this because i am dealing with that on campus here currently reload the system. Chances are if these two problems are related you will fix it temporarly and it will occur again.

the demos probably reset your screen resolution.
that would explain the symptom exactly.
