Thats because some games were made for earlier operating systems and therefore run in compatibility mode]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2010 11:44:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30859&PID=890561&title=random-computer-help-question#890561 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30859&PID=890525&title=random-computer-help-question#890525 Author: High9

It sounds like your resolution has been changed
What operating system are you using?

If it isn't the resolution thats the problem let us know as there are some other settings that might have been changed such as the 'ease of access' ones

Try holding the 'control' key and then winding the middle scrolly button of you mouse forward or back, This alters the font size.

Are you on Vista?

If so right click, Graphics Properties.

Display settings, screen resolution, play with that bit!

That's how it is on my computer anyway It's the screen resolution bit that needs fiddling with]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2010 08:51:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30859&PID=890384&title=random-computer-help-question#890384 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30859&PID=890364&title=random-computer-help-question#890364 Author: BeLoved

Check your display settings in your control panel. Sorry can't give better directions I am on a Mac and presume you are on Windows.]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2010 08:28:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30859&PID=890364&title=random-computer-help-question#890364 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30859&PID=890342&title=random-computer-help-question#890342 Author: lottieandharry

Hi there,

I just have a computer question for any of you who can help me. My whole screen looks like it has been zoomed in and now I can't view a whole webpage without scrolling up or down. My desktop icons are huge, basically everything has gotten bigger??? Not sure if my kids have changed something or what. It is probably really basic but I just can't seem to work out how to get it back to normal. Any ideas??

Thanks ]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2010 07:54:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30859&PID=890342&title=random-computer-help-question#890342
