Computer (Angry Face)

My brother did something retarded to my computer. Now everything on the screen is gigantic, like the icons and the web browser and everything. Plus the color is screwed up. How do I fix it!?

control panel > display > settings >
then check your screen area, and colors.

if it's set to something like 640 x 480, that could be your problem. most people set theirs to 1024 x 768.

if not... i'm out of ideas. :P
