Computer help

Postby diverrick on Sun Mar 07, 2010 6:42 pm

I have this new computer, which has so far been good, but last night when using natgeo topo, things did not work well. The program got stuck, and kept running forever, I finally got it to quit,and I got out of that program, but now all the screen images have huge text. I tried setting the text to the smallest it can go with no change. Does any one have any idea what the hell I did to screw this up, and what I can do tho correct it?
My wife asked me what I planned on doing today. I told her, "nothing". She said, "that's what you did yesterday!".
I replied, "yea, I know, I wasn't finished".

I am kinda computer retarded (so take my advice with a grain of salt), but have you changed your screen resolution? Sometimes when you exit from certain games, it won't properly reset, and the below works for my Windows XP machine..

Try this: control panel, appearance and themes, change screen resolution, settings tab, set to the highest resolution (e.g. 1280 X 768).

Yea I tried resolution first thing out. No change, so I hunted and pecked until I found the issue. It seems It had somehow zoomed it self to 400% normal. It's all good now.
