Did you try right clickin on your desktop, going to properties, appearance, and changing the size back to normal? That may help. If not, im sorry. Good luck!

It probably put itself in safe mode..What you should do is right click the desktop, go into properties, then settings. Change the screen resolution to somthing higher and then restart your comptuer.

did you try changing the resolution? Sounds like that got messed up. You can rght click on yur desktop go to properties. Click the settings tab then choose the resolution that seems more normal. Hope it works :) If not, i'm really not sure what hapened!

Your computer is just on safe mode. Right click on ur screen, and change it under prefrences =]

okay, i think i know what you're supposed to do. if this is wrong, then i don't know. what you do, is minimize everything you have up and right click, and go down and click on 'properties' and then at the top there will be little tabs and click on the one that says 'appearance' and then at the bottom it will say 'font size' you want to set it to normal. then hit apply. and it should be fine! good luck!

on yur desktop, right click, then hit properties, then appearance. theres Font size: choose normal.

On your desktop right click and click on properties. Then click on setting and try to fix it there. If that doesnt work click on Advanced. That got rid of my huge size once! But you probablly might have a virus. [[ ♥♥ ]]

Well mine is e-machines, and I actually asked a question similar to this, not exactly, because with mine it was the colors and font that messed up, but that has happened to our old computer. We ended up getting a new one, but in my questions yesterday, I recieved this answer K3587 answered Monday July 11 2005, 7:26 pm:
My e-machines did this as well. Go to your Control Panel, then Display, then click on the Settings tab. Try changing your color to 16 or 24 bit, and restart.
I'm not sure how to solve your problem on XP, the way I solved it on ME. I completely restored my system.ini file, but it's not the same as the XP version is, I'm sure. My advice is to find someone else with XP, copy-paste everything in their system.ini file on their computer, e-mail it to yourself, then copy-paste what they have into your system.ini. Make sure you back yours up before you try this!
What he suggests may be able to help you too. If not, then I suggest sending K' something to his inbox, I'm not sure if he's good with computers, or just his, but it's worth a shot!
Also another answer I got was from this girl, I probably would've tried hers but I knew K' so I tried his first... her answer might be good for you too...

You could set your computer back a day. Weve done that 2 my computer a couple of times and it works every time, you will lose stuff youve done in the past day, but its better than losing everything! If you need help with setting it back, leave a message in my inbox and i can get back to ya!
And I posted one in her inbox to find out how, and she told me...

Sure, no problem. Ok, click ont he start menu and there should be something that says "Help and Support". When the screen comes up, under Pick a Task, there should be something that says "Undo changes to your computer with System Restore" Click on that and another screen should come up. Check restore my computer to an earlier time, and the rest should explain itself! If you need any more help, feel free to leave a message!!

Those are my only guesses, and thats just what others told me. Sorry if I'm not help, but when that happened to our old computer we just bought a new one because it was already quite a few years old. So sorry if I'm not help, but I hope I was.
