Answer 1

Try right-clicking on your desktop (main screen) click "porperties", then click "settings" look down where it says "screen resolution" and slide the bar a little to the right. This will make everything smaller and easier on the eyes.

I don't know about the upside-down part though.. Sorry

Answer 2

Wow, seems like you really messed it up, huh? Well here's what you do. Assuming you have a Windows computer, minimize all programs, and right click on your screen. It will give you several options, click on "Graphic Options" press properties. You'll see a box, and at the top it will a tab titled "Rotation" click on rotation and then select 180 degrees and apply. this should fix your "upside down" problem. Next, right click on your screen again and click on "Properties" You will see a box that says "Theme" "Desktop" "Screen Saver" "Appearance" "Settings". Click on Settings. This will allow you to change your screen resolution, and color quality. To make your screen smaller you have to change your resolution first. To do this drag the slider to 1280 by 960 pixels. (The higher you drag it the smaller the screen is, 1280 x 960 is a good size). Click apply and it should be fixed. By the way, this will only work if you have an XP. Good luck!

Sounds great - love big monitors!

I'm guessing that you mean you're resolution has changed though, not the actualy physical size of your screen?

You don't say which operating system you're running, making it a bit hard to guess at what you've done or how to change it.

If you're using Microsoft Windows, right click on your desktop and select properties. Change the resolution to a higher one.

If you're running a Linux distribution like Kubuntu, you might have zoomed in - press ctrl-alt-minus to zoom back out again.

You might also have enabled "accessibility options" - disable them again from the menu.

Answer 4

Start>Control Panels>Appearance and Themes>Change Screen Resolution. Then change it to what you used to have. The higher the number, the smaller the stuff you see.
