Problem with unwanted zooming in

I have a recurring problem with windows vista on my dell inspiron laptop.
Every so often when I try to adjust the brightness of my monitor using the
function and arrow keys it won't work. After a few attempts something quite
strange happens - everything starts becoming larger as if I'm zooming in on
icons and text.
Everytime I open a new window the text starts off normal size then increases
in size to a ridiculous extent so the laptop is effectively unusable. The
only way to solve it seems to be running system restore and then waiting
until it happens again.
Do I have virus or is there a fault with windows vista or dell's hotkey
setup?

Thanks

Hi Chris

It sounds like you accidentally activated the Magnifier feature i
Vista. Check these settings to turn it off
1. Open Control Panel (Classic View
2. Click Ease of Access Center
3. Click "Make the computer easier to see
4. Uncheck "Turn on Magnifier
5. Click Save
