Vista - Shrunken text size

Shrunken text size

Everything on my screen has become tiny. I have thoroughly checked for
viruses etc but nothing shows up. System restore doesn't change anything.
I've had to change from the default DPI of 96 to 110DPI. My system was
recently infected will a bug called Exploit Byte Verify, which I think I
managed to remove.

The display problem began after an automatic windows update. Can anybody
help? I'm not very technically minded and I've run out of ideas.
Incidentally, trying to change the text size using IE, View, Text Size,
doesn't work. Everything remains tiny.

Thank you so much.

RE: Shrunken text size

I am having a similar problem. When I restore using a date prior to March 1
my system resets to proper size but when updates run again they become small
again. I would be interested in any answers that anyone has.

Right-click on a blank part of the desktop and choose personalize.
Click Display settings and move the resolution to the left to make
everything bigger to your taste.

But note that if yours is an LCD monitor, you should set it to the
manufacturer's recommendation.
