    Resizing
    All of the sudden my window has decided to resize itself to VERY LARGE!!

    Just out of the blue this happened. I have gone to view and all settings are the same, but when I look at the forum I can only see maybe 3 threads where previous I could see the entire page.

    This happened while I was answering a post.

    No settings have changed, can anyone help me to get it back to "normal"

    I would give you a "shot" if I knew how, but I don't.

    Thanks for your help.

    Has this happened for every window on your PC or just this forum?

    If it's everything then right click a blank area of the desktop and click properties. Then click the settings tab on the window that appears, then look at the screen resolution scale and if you can, increase it to 800x600 or 1024x768.

    Is it the Window that is resizing or the text inside it? If its just the text, try View>Text Size and make it smaller. Some sites might cause that to be changed but don't change it back. Also, if you have a wheel mouse and hold down the control key as you move the wheel, the text will change.

    It happened on EVERY window, including my desktop.

    I changed the resolution and that fixed it.

    Scott, I did not know that about the wheel mouse. That is a great trick I love it.

    Thanks guys. I appreciate your help.
