I know this will be a simple thing but suddenly everything on the computer has shrunk. Print, icons etc. What do I do?

Right click on the desktop and chose "properties" or "customise" depending on your version of windows. Then adjust the screen resolution to something more suitable...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Assume you use Internet Explorer then and hoping it's version 8. If so you'll see Page, safety, tools on the right. Click page and then text size. That just changes the size of webpage text. Give it a try, it won't bite.0

Thanks for the advice but will that change the size for all the web pages because the vast majority are fine.It's someone else's fault.0 -
Hmm, maybe just specific sites then. I know the nationwide one does it on me sometimes.
Try some other browsers. Firefox or Opera. Both free and easy to find and use.0 -
Or even Googles Chrome.0
