Help! Emergency! Somebody who knows about computers!
Can anybody tell me how to get my computer back to its original state?The kids were playing on it and suddenly everything on the screen is mega-huge... these letters are 1/4" tall and I don't know how to get it back. Any ideas?

2. It is just your browser or is it everythign on your computer.
If everything is large with your browser open just go to view, and text size located in the upper left corner of open browser window. If it is your entire computer you need to check your windows settings.

3. Try this ...
Right click on your screen and select "Properties" and then "Settings" to change the screen resolution.

5. Don't laugh, but it's all magnified so much
that I can't view the entire page... and can't find the "settings" button. This is so incredibly stupid! LOL.

6. Check your handicap settings
They have an enlarge print setting. See if your kids turned that on.

7. Thanks everybody!
I found "system restore" and things are back to normal. I will look into the handicap settings to see if that's what happened. With the display all screwed up it was impossible to navigate the screen! Thanks again. -Lisa
