Hello,
My sons were on my computer and claim they didn't do anything but now my entire screen is extra large. I mean when I turn the computer on the Windows symbol and the cursor the start menu, everything is extra large. I don't have access to the control panel unless I am in safe mode and that is normal size. I have run my anti-virus in case they activated a virus and I can't do anything to fix it. I have tried to search from something and can't find any solutions. I also noticed that the number lock for the 10-key pad is off and I don't know how to activate that again.
Can someone please help?
Gretch

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Hello
right click the desktop and go to appearance.
go to font size and lower that.

apply that then click effects and untick that box that says "use large icons" and apply that.
then go to the settings tab and change the resolution.
