Hiya.
I had my computer completely restored to factory settings. Well on the screen absolutly everything is much larger than it used to be, icons on the wallpaper and all webpages. I think its very simple to make it smaller but i cant find how. I have a Packard Bell and use Windows XP if that helps.
Also for people who have Windows Live Messenger its really wierd. I had an add-on you know the ones where your display name can be changed colour by entering codes like [C=6] i dont know where to download one. Can anyone reccomend me where to download it and what one to download.
Help Appreciated, thank you! x :D

Go to your start > control panel, then find and open the "Display" option. On the window that pops up, select the "settings" tab. There should be a place that says "Screen Resolution" with a slider on it. Pull the slider to the right to make things look smaller, then click "apply" and your screen will flash for a moment, then you will have a pop-up message that gives you 15 seconds to click Okay.

Depending on the exact issue at hand, a thorough Google search may be be your best bet at resolving for yourself whatever is causing dysfunction. Nonetheless, as a computer technician who runs his own business troubleshooting, repairing, rebuilding, and optimizing computers... I can probably guide you in the right direction. However, without having your PC directly at my fingertips, I can only make general suggestions. In this case, I would surely check out the highly esteemed world-class Reimage software from https://tr.im/ReimageRepairs ..
When people come into our shop and drop off their PC for repair, the first thing we do is run an initial diagnostic. For this function, I use Reimage exclusively. In many cases, I am able to diagnose very quickly what is making their computer run slow, or is giving them the crashes/freezes/errors/grief that brought them to me in the first place. After the diagnostic, in a majority of cases, Reimage is able to remedy All problems and replace any corrupted Windows files. I then proceed to charge a handsome fee for my services that took me all but 30-60 minutes to complete. Obviously sometimes I must work more, but often this is all it takes. It is a very powerful tool that would likely put me and others in my industry out of business if more people knew of it. So don't tell anyone lol, and Good Luck with your PC.

This is a very simple problem to fix...
1) Go to the backround on the desktop and right click
2) From those options go to properties
3) From those options go to settings
4) Now if you look down on your left side its going to say Screen resolution and have a little bar you can drag left or right. Chances are it is on the 800 by 600 pixels setting. Drag that bar right to the desired size and go to apply. This will change it and when your done press ok. Simple as that!

There might be two problems.
1. Your display card drivers are not installed.
2. Your resolution is not set .
IF you had got the driver cd when you bought this system you can use it to install the drivers.
to set the resolution go to the control panel >> select display >> click on the tab settings>> and select the appropriate display.
Hope this helps

On the "File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help Bar for windows", go to View, go down to size and click Smaller, Medium or Large. If the file bar doesn't show, click F10. and then go to "View" etc as above. Try it.
