Hi, I just turned on my computer and all the desktop icons are all huge.

Like Americas Army, and MS Money, and My Computer and all those.

Then I go into the internet all all the pages are big too! Even the BIS ones here! I have to scroll across the screen to read the whole www.3dactionplanet/flashpoint page.

Help!

Ahh! I tried it, and it wouln't let me drag the little slider across to more. It would just do nothing. I kept trying to click it and drag it across, but the little nob wouln't move!

Are you in safe mode?  In some versions of windows(not sure if it does this for all), it will safe Safe Mode in the four corners of the Desktop. If you've installed anything like drivers, or updates, or maybe any programs, you might try uninstalling them, and going back the the previous version that you had in the case of drivers. If you have XP you could use system restore to go back the an earlier time. If you hadn't installed anything in the last time you had your computer on, you could just try rebooting, you could just be in safe mode because you accidently pressed a key in the boot screen(Its usually CTRL I think).

No no, I think I am in normal mode. It just won't go back to the way it was.

OMG I just went into it looking for the FONT option you said and I did something, I don't know what, and now everything is back to normal.

THANKS. Even though I don't know what happened!

Damn, it's happened again!

I can't figure out how to fix it again.

Can anyone help me?

Have you tried doing the exact same thing you did last time?

[IceFire 0]

I tried and I can't figure it out.

there are three possibilities, so far as I see it:

1. you're in safe mode.

2. you somehow managed to uninstall your display drivers, and you're stuck with regular SVGA as-is.

3. you've got the same font problem as before.

I think it's number 3.

I think it's the same problem. Somehow the settings got changed.

This is how it started. I was in the middle of an Americas Army game playing on the collapse tunnel map. I alt tabbed out to look at websites while I was dead. Then when I heard the "your team has been eliminated" voice I clicked on the game in the task bar to get back in. Then the screen goes all white. I try to hit escape and it doesn't let me escape. So I hit the off button on my computer and turn it back on.

When it turns on all the fonts are big. Also initially the screen was all black and white with a button on it that said "return to normal screeen" I hit the button and my screen returned normal except that all my icons are still big.

This is kinda how it got messed up the first time too.
