Hello, I have an Acer mini. The screen randomly changes sizes while in use. All of a sudden the font becomes huge, or very small.
I don't know if I am doing this or not.

Hye, did you try to check for a virus? sometimes there are games that changes your screen resolution in order to run the game but they bug and fail to return the resolution to the previous state. under what occasion does these changes occur?

Hi,
Thank you. I don't play any games. I think it is somewhere that the curser randomly lands and I don't know what it is I'm doing. Maybe there is a place I zoom in and out or something.

Hi, there,
I recently bought an Acer Aspire One and seem to have exactly the same problem. I have worked out that by pressing CTRL+ or CTRL- I can increase or decrease the size of the font manually but I still have no idea how the changes originally occur.
