okay I don't mind if I sound like an idiot. I need an answer.

My computer got a little screwed up, whether it was a virus or I did something either way I had to erase everything. Actually, it didn't do what it was supposed to do since everything is the same except for the fact that everything is huge. like my web browser, font and my all my icons are really big. I know there is a way to make them smaller but I haven't done it for so long I can't figure out how to do it. I'm sure its easy but i'll be damned if I can remember how to do it.

so yeah... anyone know what I'm talking about and care to help me out?

(Indeed)

Right click on your desktop. Select "Properties". From there, select the "Settings" tab. On this tab you'll see a section called "Screen Resolution." There is a sliding scale, with an arrow that you can move across the scale. Mine is currently set at 1024 by 768 pixels, but it will depend on your screen, so you might need to fiddle around with the size a bit.

If this doesn't solve the problem, then try restarting. If things are still all screwey, there could be more exciting problems, and if you yourself haven't caused the problem, I'd run a virus scan just for the sheer fun and enjoyment of it all.


5 Turned out we had a huge virus and the reason everything was big was because it was in safe mode. I had to erase the hard drive and put everything back on the computer. (my LJ has all the great details)

Thanks
