everything got bigger!

Recently, my computer's display spontaneously changed, and now all the icons
on the desktop have gotten dramatically bigger. It seems to have effected
everything, and even web pages I open are suddenly bigger than they used to
be. Any idea how to fix that? Thanks!

Try pressing the CTRL button and scrolling with your mouse wheel.

Right click on the desktop and select Personalize..

Now select Display settings..

You need to set the resolution to 1024 x 768 or greater..

If you find that the settings will not hold, re-install your video card
drivers..

The resolution at which the monitor is running has changed (perhaps by
some program you ran).

Right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize. Click Display
Settings, and look for the Resolution slider, about two-thirds of the
way down. You will want to move that slider to the right, closer to
High.

Do you have a CRT monitor, or an LCD? If it's a CRT, try different
settings, and choose whichever you like best. But if it's an LCD, it
has a native resolution, and the image will be best at that
resolution. Check your documentation to see what the native resolution
is, and set it to that.

Adobe Reader has settings to change the desktop resolution. Drill down into
the Programs folder and find ArcoRD32.exe Right-click on the exe and click
on Properties, click on the Compatibility tab. Uncheck the "Run in 640 X 480
screen resolution"
