the words on my laptop look smaller than usual?

Question

I don't know how this happened...but I have noticed that the words on my laptop look smaller...and when I view certain sites I caan barely make out the words...does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you...also my desktop icons aren't in the right places...they got scrambled around and it is annoying because I had them set a certain way...

Answer 1

As for the fonts, open your web-browser click (for firefox) view > text size > normal or just hit ctrl+0 (zero).

there are a few programs out there that allow you to lock your desktop icons in place. check at download.com and do a search for lock desktop icons.

Answer 2

Follow these steps (for text):
1.] In the internet explorer, go to the "View Tab".
2.] Hover on where it says "Text Size".
3.] Go to the right and pick your text size.

(THIS WILL ONLY FIX INTERNET EXPLORER.)

Follow these steps (for desktop icons):
1.] Right click on your desktop.
2.] Hover where it says "Arrange Icons By"/
3.] Click the option of how you want them arranged.
