snapper Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ok...so I started up my computer and everything is bigger than normal?:jaw: Text, fonts, tool bars etc... I tried restarting but that didn't help. I tried the zoom buttom on the bottom right...all that did was change the size of the page I'm on...didn't change my icons or tool bars? How do I get it back to normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 try holding control down and rolling your scroll wheel on the mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah...that does the same thing as the zoom button on the bottom right. It changes everything on the page I'm on...but it doesn't change my tool bars etc... When I min. the screen and go back to my windows page...my wallpaper and icons are huge?

Leo Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Sounds like your screen resolution has been changed. Right click on your wallpaper, select the "settings" tab and increase your screen resolution one step up on the slider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBow Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Better set up a trail cam overlooking your computer! Never know, maybe you'll catch some of them G-men left over from the 50s and 60s trying to enforce Big Brother! :jaw: TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Glad it helped. If you're positive no one else touched the computer your graphics chip or card may be on it's last leg. Some software programs will reset screen resolution but they usually set it back on exit unless the program is terminated unexpectedly.

redkneck Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yep, my girls play a Cabella's game and you have to reset the resolution after every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I know when I play my 18 Wheels of Steel game, the resolution changes but usually after a few seconds it changes itself back to default settings. I have had to do it manually a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Never checked with the wife...but I know her and Gage play a few Sesame Street games that does that. Usally back to normal after she quits the game though? Any rate...thanks! I'll be on the look out of those G-men! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
