Vista - zoomed

03-17-2008

Everything on my laptop has been zoomed in. All the programmes and the
background, everything looks twice as big as it does normally.
How would I change this back?
Thankx

Hi,Joe. My OS is home premium, hope that won't make any difference to yours. If you open a program ( any program ), look to the bottm right of the window. Do you see a 100% sign and a arrowhead pointing downward ? If you do, click that arrowhead, and you'll see Zoom In , Zoom Out, and various %s. Choose 100% and it's back to normal. Hope that helps.Please reply one way or the other. Good luck.

my laptop just did the exact same thing and i tried both suggestions and
neither worked. Any other suggestions on how to get it back to normal? It's
not only pages that appear larger it's like the entire desktop was zoomed in.
thanks for any help..

Try this. Right cilck on desktop > Personalize> at the left panel, choose ADJUST FONT SIZE(DPI)
Check the size if it is on Default scale or Large Scale. Which one has the blue dot? Just click the dot to change. You can also click Custom DPI and make your choices.
Please inform us of your progress. Good luck.
