Whew. That's terribly written. I've read it three times and I think what has happened is that the resolution setting on your screeen has gone to VGA.
Open the Control panel
Double Click the Display Icon.
Click the SEttings Tab.
Set the resolution higher.
Click OK

On most machines pressing F12 re-installs the system or boots from another drive. If you took the time to write down clearly what happened, and any error messages you got, and maybe the messages you read from the F12 we might be able to help.
