Do you have a zoom level? Look to bottom right corner of your screen. If you have a zoom level it will depict what percent you are viewing your screen at. It should be at 100%. If this does not fix it...there are other things too but check this first.

Is this only happening trying to view a web page? Click on view at top then click on text size and then click on medium. Please post when fixed or still a problem.

a number of things could of happened,probably your desk top property settings have gone weird,to fix right click on your desk top,click on properties,then click settings,see what your screen resolution is,if set to low,this will cause your picture to be too big

Are you on a laptop or a tower pc?IF you have a mouse hooked up with a scroll wheel in the center then hit your ctrl button and move the mouse wheel up and down the text will go bigger or smaller.If your using a laptop with the touch pad then usually one side of the touch pad has a area where if you click on the side it will move the page up and down.Well you do the same thing hit ctrl and move the touch pad up and down the page with go bigger or smaller.Hope it helps

Yea, happened to my friend's laptop at home. One thing you can always count on is in the Programs directory, you can find System Restore (up in the far right upper corner). Run that: it will ask for a date to set when everything was normal. Your laptop will re-boot and return to normal...
