I installed Windows 7 and after two days, all my icons, text and windows shrunk! Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

It could have been that you were holding control down and scrolling or something similar. Anyways, to fix it, just right click on the desktop, go to view. There you can choose what size icons you want.

Maybe your resolution was increased, windows 7 tries to set the max (and correct) resolution for lcd monitors. Windows xp didn't care (assuming that is what you had)

- Right-click on an empty spot on the desktop, select "Screen Resolution".
- Click the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" link.
- Choose one of the settings and click "Apply".

You also have the choice of using the "Set custom text size (DPI)" link at the right side of the last dialogue box.
