Big computer screen help please

( please move if in the wrong spot )

Ok,here's how it happened: I was logging off POTCO like normally ( giant screen because I have Unlimited Acess),and then I noitced that everything was bigger then usual on my back-round of the computer. I go to VFKForums,and everything is also big.

I tried logging on to POTCO again and logging off,still nothing. I try turning off the computer,still the same.

Any help?

What is bigger? Text in your internet browser? or everything on your computer?

Could be text size got changed in the internet browser, or if your whole system appears bigger, then your display properties have likely been changed.

WHY? This I dont know...

right click on desktop, choose properties, then choose the settings tab.

You can adjust your screen resolution by moving the sliding bar.

Yep - it sounds like your Desktop Screen Resolution is (well - was) set to one size (say 1024 x 768) and you play POTCO at another size (say 800 x 600) and when you exited the game the Direct X control messed up on close - causing windows to lock in at the lower setting.

Follow Mir's steps above to see the slide bar and increase it a notch, apply the change, and see if it looks better...
