small screen on comp

[Brother Bear]

Bump

Another kid induced comp problem

This time everything is LARGE, not just firefox. My desktop icons are 4 times the size they should be. I may have trouble reading the screen sometimes but WOW

Ok i went into my graphics properties, and changed my screen resolution in the display settings. 1024 x 768 is the setting now
It does shrink things up a bit so i can get around better, but everything is still a bit large.



...........
:edit: got it close enough for working online, now my icons are super small on my desktop. Still working with it.

hey BB don't know if this will help but try holding down your 'ctrl' key & then pressing the 'minus/dash' key to see if it shrinks your icons, it will shrink one size each time that combo is pressed.......

to reverse the process hold down the ctrl & press the + key

right click your desktop>view> click icon size you prefer

SuperZero that was the ticket
Thank you very much, my eyes sure were straining to find the right icons to click. I appreciate everyone's help.

Sorry didn't want to help myself!

I hate fucking computers
Everything is still off size from the last 3 times my son was messing with it.
Today i woke up and every single page i had saved in my bookmarks was gone ? Also my back button no longer seems to be working.
Is there a way to reset or reformat everything ?

This is fun stuff to read and very informative, also how old is your son?

Might a DRUM SET take his mind off your computer?

Good Luck
