Hi Guys
I'm new here and not the greatest technical person, so I'm not sure which forum section I should be posting this question.
I have a "HP windows vista home premium laptop that's 2 years old"
Last night I chose to play one of HPs games that came with this computer ( wheel of fortune ) and after completing the game I clicked on "close game" which it did not do.
I clicked close a few more times and the screen maximized to full screen and still would not close.
I then tapped close game rapidly and the game then disappeared leaving my regular screen so huge that the icons normally on the left side completely covered the screen.
I did something else and I can't remember what it was but now all my icons are missing as well ( I know it was something innocent which doesn't make any sense ).
In fact it is very difficult even writing this post because the page is bigger than my computer screen and I have to scroll back and forth to get all this text written.
Can anyone help me with this problem, as Hewlett Packard wants $50.00 to give me the solution because my PC is out of warranty and it is their game that started this.
I checked out Google and found many other people got the same problem after playing a game.

PS- I use Norton Security (renewed 2 months ago) plus I have Paratologic Registry Cleaner, so I don't think viruses are an issue.
