    Scaling

    My laptops been working flawlessly but when I turned it off earlier today and
    then turned it back on all the icons/text/screen saver/images were much
    larger...........and internet explorer isn't scaled properly (I now have to
    use a bar at the bottom of the screen to scroll form left to right). I'm not
    sure what's happened but I need help correcting.

    Thank you very much!

    Something has gone haywire with your video/Graphics settings
    Right-click on the empty Desktop> Personalise> change resolution in there.

    If does not work, go to computer or motherboard or Graphics/Video card
    Manufacturwer's site and download latest Drivers for your Graphics Card.

    You can also check in Device Manager to see what is wrong with it, too!
    Right-click on it, select Properties, and see what is up with the Driver.

    You also might try changing your Dots Per Inch(DPI) setting.
