Help - when i turn on the computer the text is really large as are all the icons etc. Changing the text/icon size either in the window or control panel does nothing - nor does the auto adjust on the lcd screen.

Any ideas as to what I do to rectify this?

Check your resolution.

Also, there is an option in Accessibility under control panel to make icons and text LARGE for the poor of sight!

also look in the bottom right hand corner you should see a number with a percentage ideally this should be 100% any more and the text gets bigger click to the right of this and reajust to suit

..or hold down Ctrl and twiddle the wheel on your mouse

Sounds like a problem with your video drivers has put you to default 640x480. Try reinstalling video drivers.

Thanks for all your help. It was the resolution thingy. Sorted for now
