I looked up for help everywhere. I had shrunk my size by hitting the CTRL key and as I tried to fix it ...it only made it worse. Frustrated, I looked up for assistance on this problem. I called a 24/7 helpline that had nothing mentioned about money. I talked to the young man in India who listened and told me I could get one years service for 139.00. I told him I just needed to return it to size and that I didn't need the yearly service as we have a new PC and a service acct with the Best Buy Geek Squad. I thanked him and continued looking. I came across your page, put my question in, and saw a similar question with the helpful and accurate information for FREE! The answer was to hold the CTRL and hit the + key until you got it to the size you wanted it! Well, thank you very much! I am delighted with your help and at no cost! Life is good again!
I've also had problems with my screen enlarging - this time way to big! I tried using the + button, and it made it even larger. Then I tried the - button, and it helped make my text smaller! I wouldn't have been able to figure it out without using this little Timbit of advice. Thanks!

2015-06-29T21:51:02+00:00 How do you change font size/type style for Windows Desktop? play at a gaming site and even the pool table there is skewed, longer and thinner. System Restore will not let me go back far enough to change it
Please click the top right button on your screen and select 100% for normal text.
