Answer» My Icons, windows and everything else are super sized. I have tried all of the right click option and they didn't work. I have also tried rolling the mouse while holding the conrol button. Nothing is working. Please tell me you have another idea. By the way I have XP if this helps.Did you try this: right-click on an empty space on the desktop>Properties>Settings tab, change screen resolution by moving SLIDER to the right. That's happened to me a lot. Try what drmsucks said, but if everything is too BIG for you to see the screen resolution slider, as has happened to me before, try pressing tab twice in the settings tab to select it, then move the slider by pressing the right arrow key. Also, if you turn off your computer and then restart it, windows should show a balloon after you log in that says your screen resolution is too small to display all icons. Clicking on it should automatically adjust the screen resolution to display the desktop icons. Just out of curiosity, what changed your screen resolution?Nice tip, typhoeus.Thanks guys! Unfortunately, it is still too big. There must be something I can do. Did you download anything before this started happening? Another option you can try is system RESTORE to a time before this issue happened... Quote from: Hopeandme on September 04, 2008, 10:09:16 PM Thanks guys! Unfortunately, it is still too big.

Sometimes, something, LIKE exiting the program through task manager or alt-F4, will cause screen resolution to remain changed even after you EXIT a program. While this probably won't work, sometimes entering the program and exiting it in the correct way will reset the resolution.

My Icons, windows and everything else are super sized.

I have tried all of the right click option and they didn't work. I have also tried rolling the mouse while holding the conrol button. Nothing is working. Please tell me you have another idea.

By the way I have XP if this helps.Did you try this: right-click on an empty space on the desktop>Properties>Settings tab, change screen resolution by moving SLIDER to the right. That's happened to me a lot. Try what drmsucks said, but if everything is too BIG for you to see the screen resolution slider, as has happened to me before, try pressing tab twice in the settings tab to select it, then move the slider by pressing the right arrow key.
