Help! I just did something to my laptop that has made my screen magnified! I am sure I was holding down Control and scrolling with the mouse pad...only I don't know how to get it back to normal 100% view. Can anyone help a damsel in distress?

Is it on just the web browser or all programs and the desktop, too? If it’s all programs, right click some empty space on the desktop—go to properties, then display settings settings. Slide the Resolution bar (lower left) to the left a little. Click “Apply” and then yes to accept (if it is then acceptable to you).

System restore worked for me. Same problem.

I wouldn’t do system restore yet. It works about as often as a Clinton tells the truth.

Internet Explorer has a zoom feature. You push and hold the ctrl key, and then move the scroll wheel up or down to increase, or decrease the zoom. It will stay wherever it was when you turn the computer off, so once you zoom with this feature, you must zoom back to get back to normal.
