    how to make everything on the screen smaller?
    I don't know how to explain this right so try to bear with me. My mom was messing around with my laptop and the next day when I went on it everything on the screen is bigger! The X in the right hand corner, pictures, letters, icons, just everything is like 2x bigger. I don't know how to fix it but my mom said she was in the control panel just playing around with stuff but she don't remember what she did. Does anyone know how I can fix it back to the way its suppose to be?

    It may be your resolution. With your mouse, right click on your desktop. Select properties. Then go to settings. Change your resolution. The higher the resolution the smaller the icons. So you may want to increase the resolution size and that should help.

    Just to add, You change resolution by moving the slider. You may have a range of 640x480 up 1280x800.

    If that doesn't help, you mom may have changed your video adapter.
