Help...I did 'something'!

Recommended Posts

The trouble is I don't know how I did it or how to put it right. Somehow I have shrunk everything, text icons etc etc. I now nee binoculars to see anything. Any ideas on how to put it right would be welcome.

No, not originaly. I was playing around with a video editing suite. When I came out of it everything re-set itself for some reason. I have tried display options via control panel and nothing there has helped. I'm stumped! :fight::(:tearful:

I would assume then that you have altered some setting or other within the video-editing suite.

 

What that was though,, I don't know, sorry!

Phasmid,

 

Try this.

 

Click on start

Choose programmes

Choose accessories

Choose system tools

Choose system restore

This will enable you to restore your computer to an earlier time.

 

Choose the last date (has to be a bold date on the calendar) your computer was working fine.

Just thought of something else....

 

 

Do you have a 'scroll wheel' on your mouse?

 

If So, then, Press CTRL at the same time as 'scrolling' your mouse wheel. Does this change your font size?

Sounds like all the most likely suggestions are already gone.

 

If you right click on the desktop, then choose properties

 

Click on the 'Appearance' tab

 

Does the Font size say normal? If not then it should do.

 

If this is ok then click on the 'Settings' tab and have a look at your screen resolution. Try setting it to 800x600 and see if that is any better.

Thanks people, it was the screen reolution. I guess the video suite reset it to suit itself and didn't re-set it to my default when I came out of it.

 

 

Glad you've got it sorted!

Didn't know about the scroll mouse bit though. I love 'em. It is horrible at work as nearly all the computers in the computer suite only have button mice and no matter how much I stroke them they never scroll :lol:
