Everything is too big! Help!

I have an XP.  When I turned my computer on this morning - everything was too big - my desktop, my picture, my icons, my fonts - everything. How can I put it all back smaller?  Please help!   Winifred

Here is how you reinstall your video driver:

Go to Start> right click on My Computer and go to manage. Click on Device Manager. When device manager is up, click on the plus sign next to Display adapters. Right click on the display adapter listed (usually Geforce or ATI) and click on uninstall. Confirm removal and restart your computer.  If all is well, the video driver will be installed fresh from the drivers folder in Windows automatically.

You may have just lost your settings, too.  Check to make sure your Display Properties is showing the correct colors and resolution. Rightclick on an empty spot on the desktop. Go to properties. Click on the settings tab.

If you can change colors to High 16 bit  and resolution to 1024 X 768, then click apply and ok.  If that doesn't take, reinstall the driver.  If that still doesn't work, call Dell tech support.

Thanks so much on letting me know how to uninstall my driver!  I had no idea how to do it.  I am so glad I joined this forum.  Thanks again for your kindness.  Winifred
