The desktop and everything is weirdly pixelated and colours have gone wrong, and icons are bigger than normal. I've gone into display settings in control panel but i don't seem to be abloe to change anything back to how it once was. Any ideas? Maybe i should run system restore? I am a complete numpty about techie things so any help appreciated!

    either the graphics chip has taken damage or (more likely) the software driver has corrupted. Go to the manufacturers website, and under the technical support section, look up downloads for your model. There should be a graphics driver for you to download and install.
