the screen print has gone really large!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fransmom]

and it's doing my head in! how can i reduce it? it's nothing i pressed, when i switched on computer the print on screen looks as though i am reading through a magnifier and i hate it!!!!!!!!!

please help me!!!!

BOO!!!!

(Did that scare you it was so big!)

you cow!

it's spoiling my mumsnet time!!!>>>>

i did this yesterday.to correct it i pressed ctrl and scrolled up or down(cant remember)

Hold on, I'll ask the old man, he might have an idea....

moljam - i did what you said and it just moved screen up and down!

what did mr mo say?

If you have IE

View
Text size
hit 'medium'

Right, go to start and then find acsessories. From there its accessability and then magnify. Look there and youshould be able to solve it.
So thats, Start, accessories, accessability and magnify!

Or

right click on desktop
properties
appearance
set font size to 'normal'

apply,ok

I just tried it! Its really big isnt it?!

have doen all that!

mo i want it to go back to normal not view it in even larger print!!!

Oh shit! Hang on!

Doesn't it have a drop down menu which gives you a choice of sizes? Mine is set to 1, which is normal.

have gone to view and it's on smallest size there.

magnifier still same.

will log off and restart pc see if that changes anything.

i bet dp been messing with pc again!!!

ttfn x

nooooooooooooooooo

even switched it off completely. nada.

system restore

eh? how do i do that?

i remember seeing it somewhere but not where i feel like i'm reading a very large print book!

start (all programs)
accessories
system tools
system restore

follow instructions on screen

ta chuck. will try that now

Won't that restore the whole pc though? I hope she doesn't loose anything else! DH has gone now, so he's no good!

Nope - you don't lose saved documents etc.

Tis a marvellous tool when you fark up the pc by downloading some bastard thing from the internet - like Norton ffs [rant deleted] and don't want to be found out/end up headbutting the pc from frustration/wish you'd got McAfee etc.

Before you do system restore, try looking at the display settings - sometimes they get changed to a different resolution by a program (lots of games do it ) & sometimes it doesn't change back as it should. Go to Start - Control Panel-Display (may be under Appearance & Themes)Click on the Settings tab & look at the slider labelled Screen resolution. If it's over to the left, try sliding it to the right & see if that changes it to the way you'd like.

In that case, I shall take note of what to do, in the event of emergency!

for wt

tho i now feel like i need mo's suggestion of a magnifier!!!

system restore worked btw wt

Well done! I wonder how it happened then.
