Everything is HUGE


Question Posted Sunday September 25 2005, 8:41 pm

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?

lol. yeah mine does it to sometimes. all you have to do is...

. right click on your main page(where there are all the icons
. click properties
. make your screan resolution go all the way down to less.

I had the same problem, after a couple of hours i figured it out though.

right click on an empty(no icons) space on your screen and click on properties then click on appearance and toward the bottom of the pop up window it'll say font size and then you just say normal.

there should be a little computer icon in the coner of your computer where the time is. Right click it and sizes should come up. make sure it is set to 1024x768.... that should do the trick

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.

This may not be what your looking for but its worth a try.

Go to start
control panel
display
appearence
font size

There is also a size option under the accessibility options under the control panel. I hit that one once and my entire screen was filled with huge everything!!

Probably much to simple to be the answer but you never know. :)

What you do is go to the "View" menu that should be a the top of your screen, right under where the name of the webpage is, and click the "text size" menu. From there, you should be able to set the text to a size that you like better.

It could be in safe mode, the resolution is set too low, or your eyes suddenly have problems focusing.
