Hello everyone,
My name is Jerome and I hope you guys can help me out. The text of my icons, url, Firefox and IE etc have been shrunk to the point where they look like little dots. I can still type, but I have to trust that my typing is spot on because I cannot see the url address I'm typing. I'm running the Windows Malicious software, but it hasn't found whatever it is. Avast didn't catch it either. I have Windows XP. I've tried looking on google for a "really small text virus" to no avail. Please help this computer novice.
Jerome

He jbautista, and welcome to pchf....the typing on this end is fine, for what it's worth. Have you tried the obvious, such as holding down the ctrl button and moving the mouse wheel forward?
When did this start? Out of the blue or after you installed an app? You can also right clck on an empty space on your desktop, go to properties, settings tab, and change the resolution to something larger. Let me know what works, if anything, and where we're at. thanks, v
