Everything on my computer screen is appearing larger than normal

Anonymous

I unplugged my computer about 4 days ago to take it on a trip with me. When I restarted my computer everything on my computer screen including my background, icons, websites, aim, etc. showed up larger and more distorted than normal. The zoom level is at a normal 100%. This has happened in the past but once I restarted my computer, my screen has always gone back to normal. I would like to know how to fix this problem because I have restarted my computer about 3 or 4 times but everything that appears on my screen is still distorted and larger than normal.

Hello Swils117,

Thank you for using Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

If you haven't tried the steps below, give this a try.

1/ Right Click on a vacant part of the desktop

2/ From the Drop Down menu, Click the View option

3/ In the View context menu, Click one of the following options:

Large Icons
Medium Icons
Classic Icons

The Classic Icons option will reduce the size the most. Please let me know if that has resolved your issue or if you are still having any problems.
