    :confused: Can anyone help ASAP
    I need to know how to undo some changes. My friend has windowsME and he did something and changed everything and made it BIG. So now anything you pull up, it is so big that you can't see all of it. I tried to change it in display properties. But since everything is so big, you can't get to all the screen. And you can't move the screen up any. There is no system restore points. So I need to know if anyone can help with this problem. Thanks so much :)

    Hi Yes you should be able to get it back to a normal size by opening display properites re set display to something like 800 x 600 then to apply new setting hit Enter..It's been a long time sence I've pulled that fowl up but I have always been able to get out of it by using the keyboard.

    Turn off Accessibilites, in the Control Panel.

    Undo display changes

    Thanks everyone. First off, I went into display properties , there is no way to adjust it to 800x600. It only has 1 setting which is 640x?. I did change the icons to small, which helped some. But whenever they go on the internet, or pull up word or anything, it is still big and not everything fits on the screen. Is there any other way to change it? Everything on the pages are bigger than they normally are. I just don't know what he did to change it like that since in display properties it only has the one setting.

    Thanks for adjusting the subject.

    If Accessibilites is not the problem, reinstall your video card drivers. If you do not know what your video card is, or do not have them. http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?lang=en
    Get Everest Home Edition, and you will find out about all your hardware.

    Undo display changes

    Okay, I told him about the video card and also the Everest home edition. Since I don't know much about computers, I didn't want to try any of these, since it isn't my computer.

    The wallpaper,background photos and screensaver photos are not plain at all. Is this a different problem and needs to be posted else where? I figured it all had to do with the display.
