Hello
I connected to a Dell projector for a presentation. Now my screen display
(fonts, icons, text) is very large and I can't get it back to it's normal
settings. I have tried to use a restore point but that doesn't work. I've
fiddled around with display settings and that is not getting me back to where
it was.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you

Usually with Dell laptops you can toggle between presentation and regular
modes by pressing the FN key + [some other key, usually a function key].
Look on your keyboard for an F key that has a picture of something that
looks like a monitor or refer to the user manual for your specific model
laptop. If you didn't get a paper manual, the manual will be on Dell's
support site. Or even Google "toggle presentation mode Dell [your model]".

the key stroke is FUN + F8. however check the advanced settings in the
desktop properties setting tab.
the general tab should say 96 DPI

So right click the desktop --> properties --> settings tab --> advanced.

now you should be looking at the general tab and like i said already check
that the DPI is set at 96.
