Restore point haelp
self ^ | september 3, 2013 | knarf

Posted on 09/03/2013 6:45:03 PM PDT by knarf

I don't know what I did, but I've got an enlarged screen/icons/desktop .. just like a safemode, but I have a full color card.

I've tried restore, but I am given only 4 options ... today, yesterday and Aug 29 and 30.

None of those dates restore my system and I can't go back further or farther or father or farter ...

This is a new one to me.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanx

Have you tried using your CONTROL PANEL and changing the resolution for your MONITOR ?

That’s weird, that just happened to me last night, too. I kinda like it, though, because I’m going blind.

Shut down and restart. Twice if need be. If it is still the same, you might be in windows classic. Go to the control panel and then appearance. Scroll down to the windows view modes.

If this appears only in your browser it means you’ve used the magnify feature of the browser. Different browsers reset in different ways. For Firefox, use Ctrl/0 (that’s zero).

Windows 7?

Sounds like your display size got changed.

Right click on an empty part of the desktop. From the pop up menu, select Screen Resolution.

Try changing to a higher resolution.

==

Another option

Right click on the Start button (lower left).

Click the Customize button. Scroll down to “Use large icons” and uncheck it.

Dunno about yer restore point dilemna, but this :

Yes, I’m logged in with my sister and a moose in the shower wearing tinfoil

.. sounds kinda kinky.

If yer sis and the moose are assisting, tell 'em to try not to drip on puter cuz that won't help things.

‘changed a page’?

Browser?

Are the large icons on your desktop or in your browser?
