Hi, I went to a real estate website and had a look at pics that made it
possible to have an aerial view in rooms. All of a sudden the screen was like
3 times too big for the monitor window. I have to move my mouse up, down,
across left and right to see the whole screen! Everything is huge. So I went
to desktop settings and had a look at the pixels. The marker was right in the
middle where it always is but the screen was nothing like it was supposed to.
So I moved the marker to the lowest setting for pixels and now it is smaller
and fits but the words are bold looking and everything still looks odd. I
just want it all back to normal Can anyone help?

In Display Properties, Settings tab, if there are two slides for screen
resolution, set them both to the same resolution so you don't have to
pan across the screen.

Use System Restore to revert to a day before the problem first occurred.

I did a system restore to the day before and it didn't do anything. I have
gone into display properties to do what you said and I am not sure what you
mean. I have fixed the screen but now I need to make the words and icons on
my desktop and the start bar to be smaller..how do i do that?

Try the Windows default theme under Display Properties, Appearance. Set
the Font Size to "Normal".
