Tool bar and screen all fuzzy
OK, don't know what I did but my tool bar at the bottom of the screen is all out of whack. The colors look fuzzy and not as crisp as they were. Also, everything is huge all of a sudden and I can only see half of a page. My grandson hit something on the keyboard I think but I'm only guessing about that. I know this a very vague but does anyone have an idea what's happened?
