Help Me!!!!!

[mandy]

I'm not sure what board this belongs on, but I don't really care. I need help and I need it NOW!

I turned my computer on and suddenly I felt like Fritz from the Land of the Giants. My screen is HUGE and NOTHING fits on the page!!! It's freaking me out!

How do I get my nice normal screen back?????

Right click desktop and select Properties/Settings.
Change your screen res as appropriate.

You are suffering from an acute case of corneal gigantism and you will die tomorrow.

In the meantime change your resolution settings as SB suggests.

Can you take me through this step by step? I'm ok up to the right clicking and the finding the properties menu, then.......

Then click settings...

Then in the part that says screen resolution, make that a higher number by moving the slider to the right.

its really easy to fix
as the dude said...

when ur in windows
right click on the background
choose properties
choose settings
there will be a slidey thing called "Screen Resolution"
the higher u go, the better the screen picture and the smaller it becomes...

soo yea just have a fiddle. Try 800*600 res or 1024*768 (which most ppl use)

Thanks everyone for your help. I'm now reduced back to normal size.

And Darky, I'm sure you'll be relieved to know I didn't drop dead.

Hmm you sound confident. If I were you, I'd still be pretty edgy for the next 8 hours and 37 minutes.

Point noted. I'll be sure to look after myself until midnight.

Oh, that didn't really come out right. Or maybe it did.....

Need a magnifying glass to read anything at 1024*768 and the color goes paler.
