    Right click your desktop-->Personalise-->Display Settings

    Here you will see a slidey bar with "Resolution" above it. If that slide is all the way to the left then that could be why.

    I would suggest try changing it too something like 1280*768 or 1280*920

    Depends on your monitor really though!

    This should sort you out. You might want to experiement with different resoutions to find the one you are used too!



    To change font size:

    Right click your desktop-->Personalise-->Display Settings

    Click the option in top right "FONT SIZES (DPI)"

    This needs to be set to "default size" not "large scale".


    I've got a feeling its going to be changing one of these that will fix it!
