Annoying problem that I can't seem to get any advice on!!!!!

About once a week my screen resolution seems to be changing--I think on its
own. I do have small kids that sometimes touch the keyboard, so that might
have something to do with it, but I don't think so.

I say its the resolution, but I am not even sure of that. When it happens
the icons get bigger--and webpages font sizes become too big for a page. I
have tried manually adjusting the screen resolution, but that doesn't seem to
be the answer--it doesn't put it back the way it was before.

To fix the problem, I have been restoring my system to previous dates---but
it always seems to re-occur.

This problem is VERY annoying--and help anyone could give would be fantastic!.

Thanks,

Matt

The size of web fonts and desktop icons can be changed just by pressing
[CTRL]- roll mouse wheel.

Is there any chance you or your child is holding down the ctrl key and
rolling the mouse wheel (if you even have one)?

Maybe a sticky control key?

ctrl+mouse wheel will change Icon and font size.

I see what you mean--but I don't think that is the problem---its almost like
how when the computer is in safe mode--the icons get bigger. Thats really
the only way I can describe it I guess.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
