Text and Icons bigger on desktop and browser

by MARBLEANN Jul 31, 2009 2:35PM PDT

I was just looking at a movie using the s video from my computer to my TV. When I disconnected it the text and my icons are a little larger. My bookmarks do not all fit into the tool bar anymore, things like that. It is pretty annoying. I can see everything well. But what I can I do to fix it back to the way it was? I am using a HP9005us 17" screen Window XP laptop. Thanks in advance.

MARBLEANN, Right click your Desktop, choose Properties, under the Settings tab>Screen Resolution move the slider a notch to the left, click Apply/OK.

That did the trick. Thanks to all. I was almost getting use to reading large text.
