I just restarted my computer and when it loaded was everything huge!  The icons are way bigger than normal and are weird colors.  For a minute I thought I was in safe mode, but I'm not.  I restarted it to see if it would go back to normal but it hasn't.  It's hard to explain, but if anyone can help me fix it it would be very much appreciated. Tell us about the operating system, and the kind of computer.  Also, do you remember the last thing you were doing (surfing the 'net, or running a particular application) before you started having the problem?

You may be able to right-click on the desktop, select properties, click the settings tab, and see how the video resolution is set...My computer is Windows XP Professional. 
I was deleting some programs in the add/delete thing in the control panel.  I'm thinking maybe I deleted something IMPORTANT :S.  But I can't think of anything I could have deleted.  In the DISPLAY properties, settings, it says my screen resolution is 640 by 480 pixels, and the color quality is Lowest (4 bit)..but I can't make it any higher.  try to re-install the graphic card,

please tell us the video card/ gfx cardHow do I reinstall the graphics card?  I went to device manager to see if it was listed there but I'm not quite sure what to look for.Jade, do you have an entry in Device Manager for Display Adapter?  When you click on the little + box, what does it tell you?It says 'Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller'.Oh, well I restarted it and it's all fixed now .   Which is weird, because I had restarted it before.  But ANYWAY, thankyou very much for HELPING! Excellent!

I chalk that up to "Sometimes It's Better to Be Lucky Than Good" and I'm not too proud to admit it!
