    So, my brother decided to mess with my computer, when I got home from work the screen was all red and all the icons and letters were huge. I figured out how to get the red resolution off but not the big lettering. I went to start and display and tried to change some things but it didn't work. Does anyone know what to do step by step to make the letter, icons and pages smaller? I really need to do do my work on here and it's even hard to view or won't let me view certain pages because it is so big. Thanks so much!
    Thanks for all the answers!

    Adjust resolution of you computer.Try different resolution for screen and see which one suit your screen
    Normal resoultion is 1024 by 768 pixels. This could be adjust by display properties.

    Im not an expert on this.. but you can try this.. it wont hurt your computer or anything, and you can always change it back.

    Go to your plain old desktop. Right click in any open area and select >Properties. The select the >Settings tab.

    You'll see a sliding bar, that selects the # of pixels that you want to show on your screen. The more pixels, the smaller the icon, images, etc. The more = larger icons, etc.

    Slide it over (most likely to your right). I have 1024 by 768 pixels, and i have a 13 x 8 moniter or so. Hit >Apply or OK.

    That should do it. Maybe..hopefully...
    Ive had a problem like this, sometimes the settings change when you play a certain game that requires the settings to be bigger, like Tonka, or little kids' games, so its easier to click things for them. If this doesnt help, I would go to Window's (microsoft's) website, and look at there support section.

    GOODLUCK!!
