help! somehow my video settings got changed to extra
large. when i right click on the desktop, got to the
settings section, the area i need to see is out of sight,
below the screen. i cannot move the window high enough
to get to the area to reset the settings. is there a
backdoor way to reset the type size to small so that the
windows will return to normal size. the type now is so
large that only a partial line will fit at one time.
thanks.

Have you tried scrolling instead of moving the window? You don't say so in
your post if you tried this, but using the scroll wheel, or the keyboard
arrows may do the trick.

I've got the same prob - (but scrolling around the screen
gets me back to Control Panel to reset) - but why (after
upgrading to SP2) does my system want to go to the largest
monitor setting once a day? Video drivers are current.
