Icons and type suddenly too big and broad

In the middle of a PowerPoint presentation the other day, the type and icons on my screen, everything changed resolution. Windows icons on my desktop are now enlarged, any type is blurry and Gmail and other windows open too wide. I can't understand how to undo some changes have occurred. What is the best way to format my computer to default mode (small icons, strong resolution) that has existed for years before this PP presentation?

Hello

There are a few things you can try:

Change the resolution of the screen;

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

Then try to change the screen resolution.

Or do a system restore to before that happened.

    With all applications at least reduced - so you can see your desktop and all the icons - left click on an empty space on the desktop.  That will make sure this is what is under discussion.  Then, hold down your CTRL key on your keyboard (or other) and scroll the mouse wheel to make the icons smaller and up to do the most.  Stop when you are satisfied.

    Hi Shilohgold,

    Generally, this problem is caused because of the video card related questions. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.

    1 update you are trying to install? (Mention the number of KB)

    2. do you get any error code or error message?

    Try the following steps to verify that update failed recently.

    a. press Windows + Q keys.

    b. type view update history in the search option.

    c. click view update history .

    d. research update failed recently.

    I suggest you try to update the video card drivers from the Web site of the manufacturer of the computer or from Windows Update and check if it works for you. This has the same step in troubleshooting provided in the original post, but here I add steps so that it can be easy for you to update the drivers.

    See Microsoft Help next to update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

  • After installation of CC first update icons and work surface became too big and cannot be change in small

    Hi, ich have installed the new update first Pro CC cloud today. Well, I canoe understand, why all the icons are too big now and I can't do the little ones. If anyone knows what I'm talkig about, please help. Thank you

    I just found the reason why it happened. My settings for the font in Windows was 125%. I just wanted to get the icons something grand and its better to read the writing of 125%. Now, I put the view to 100%. Fonts and icons first has also become smaller. This approach is now... This is not the ideal solution, because I need to change the size of my screen every time I do not use first. I don't know why, that did not affect the previous version. Apparently because of the support for high-deffinitions screens. in any case, thank you.

  • Why are my sizes of Panel, icon and text Illustrator CC 2014 too big? He treats me as a person.

    weird illustrator sizing.jpg

    The photo on the left is Illustrator CC 2014 and the right one is Illustrator CC. As you can see the icons and text on the left expand, resulting in less space for the document. I couldn't see anything in the preferences in this regard. Does anyone know how can I fix? None of my other CC 2014 applications done this... This is a computer setting or adjustment of the CC?

    Hi Benjamingill,

    It seems that your windows scale parameter is > = 125% and is put across the user interface to adapt to the parameter, as in 17.1 he used scale of OS to trigger at > = 126% and many complaints from users that have is not to scale to 125% scale which has been the case for most users. If you keep your windows less than 125% scale, it will launch in the scale to 100%.

  • the text went too big and I don't know how to make it smaller

    the text got too big and I don't know how to make small new

    You may need to change your DPI settings. See the link below:

    Make the text on the screen larger or smaller
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller
    You can make text and other items, such as the icons on your screen easier to see by making them bigger. This by increasing the dots per inch (DPI) scale. You can also decrease the DPI scale to make text and other items on your screen smaller, so that more information fits on the screen.

    If at the end you can not click on the button 'OK' because it is hidden, press your 'Enter' key (OK is defined as the default value).

  • Why pages such as natwest and ELC not displayed correctly? It's as if their text is too big, yet other pages are very well?

    I have abrand new laptop ASUS with a 11 and a half inch screen. I've updated Windows system and uses the latest version of firefox. I went through all the advice in the section including firefox help clear the cache and cookies, and also check all the settings for the text, but none of this has fixed the problem. For example when I connect to my Bank in the text line is that big it does not fit in the boxes of natwest screen, so I can display all of the text and it gets mixed together in some places. With ELC, a good example is the menu at the top of the page which shows all categories of products they sell for you to click on. Because writing is too big it does not display properly. Im not sure what else to do in crrect. Can anyone help?

    I noticed in this screenshot that you have increased proportional size from 16 to 24.

    This helps to redefine 16?

    You can see the default values in a screenshot in this article:

    You can reset the fonts preferences on the topic: config page by default via the context menu.

    • Open the topic: config page through the address bar and do a TEXT search through the top search bar of the about: config page.
    • Reset all the font.* related prefs which appear "BOLD" (user set) via the context menu to their default value.

    Safe mode

    You may need to reset toolbars and controls through Firefox in Safe Mode troubleshooting questions
    Make sure that completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select controls and then make changes and restart and reset toolbars.

    How can I make my smaller email is too big and it was too long on the right side, it is when I click on create email and when it opens I do not have the right of it

    You can move the window by grabbing the title bar at the top. Once you have a visible advantage, place the cursor on the right on that edge, left click and drag it to the desired size. First close all other windows and the latter so that Windows remember their size.
