Everything on my computer screen became real small. How do I change it back?

Hello,

I will help you solve this problem with this method:

- Change the Resoulotion back to original settings

The most common way to solve this problem is by changing the screen resolution. To do this you must 'Right Click' on your desktop screen then select 'Properties'.
Then you should select the tab labelled 'Settings' and here should be a little lever tool where you can adjust the screen resolution.

Now you should adjust the lever until a suitable resolution is found. Different Resolutions are used on different computers varying on their specifications.

This should solve the problem, i have had this problem on many occasions, I hope this answer will help you

Go to the start bar in the bottom left corner. Hit that, then click Control Panel. If you are using Window XP, click Appearance and Themes. Hit Change the screen resolution, and there should be a bar that has all the different resolutions. If you want everything big and you have a normal non-widescreen monitor, I would suggest 800x600. If you have a widescreen, I would suggest 1152x864.

Go to your desktop and on the left hand bottom corner is "start", press that and go to "settings", then press "control panel", click "display" and it gives you a new window. go to the tab that says "settings" again and look at were it says "Screen area" move the slider to a lower setting and then preview it.( it goes by pixels so try the first one down, then the next if your not satisfied.)

if that doesn't work for you email me back at [e-mail] for more specifics.
hope it works.

Answer 5

If the entire screen is small, go to display properties, you can do this by going to your desktop, right click and go to properties. Then go to settings and make sure that your display is set on 1024 by 748 pixels and 32 bit color, this is kinda the default setting. If it is just your text that is small, open a window and go to view-text size- and then resize it to the size you would like. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

If you have a pc right click anywhere on your desktop, go to properties then search in settings for the resolution. If you want things real big go for 800x600 resolution.

Answer 7

Try right clicking one the desktop and choosing properties. Then, choose the "settings tab". Slide the screen resolution towards the "Less" (left) and hit apply.

Answer 8

Thats easy dude all you need to do is side click on your desktop and go where it says "Display Modes" then go to "high Color" then click the one that says "1024 By 768" thats the regular setting that will put it back to the way most computers are (only works with windows)

Answer 10

If it is just on the internet, go to your internet browser's "view" pulldown menu to "text size" and change it there.

If EVERYTHING is smaller, you will have to go into the control panel => display => settings and change the screen resolution.

Good luck!
