Everything on my computer is bigger? How can I get it back to normal?

Question

The font, desktop icons, and bar where the start menu is are all to big. I have tried zooming in and out and changing text size but it has'nt returned to normal. It started after I played a game on yahoo, could that have something to do with it? I already searched for answers on yahoo, and everyone says to go into properties and select the settings tab but whenever I go into properties the only tab t has is 'General' and nothing there can be adjusted. Help please?

Answer 1

Minimize everything, and right click on your desktop. In the menu that pops up, click on Properties.

In the "Settings" tab, there should be an option for Screen Resolution with a small slider. Adjust the slider to the right one notch, and hit apply to see if things get better. If they do, and you like them, click ok. If it's still not how it was, keep moving the slider and hitting apply until it looks like it once did.

Answer 2

Sometimes games will change your 'screen resolution' which can make stuff look bigger. If you are on Windows, right click on desktop, select Properties, then the Settings tab. Where it says 'Screen resolution' try moving the bar to the right, then click Apply and see what happens. If you play around with it you may get back to the size you like.

Answer 3

Please check again.
Right-click on the desktop
select properties
there should be a "settings" tab
look to the middle and see "screen area"
it probably says something like 800 x 600
drag the slider carefully to the right for 1024 x 768
click Apply, click o.k.
that's pretty much the normal setting

- CONTROL PANEL
- DISPLAY
