Joey, do you have reason to suspect that some prank has been played on you?
If your resolution is that off, it is not a normal Windows setting. I have
never heard of malware that would cause this, but you are in a ton of
trouble, regardless. There is no hotkey for something that bizarre.

Would you please tell us the size of your monitor, and exactly how large
some known item is on your screen? In other words, how many times bigger are
we talking about? Is there anything you can do on the computer, other than
boot Windows?

Does this also happen in Safe Mode? If not, can you change the display
resolution while in Safe Mode?

A simple trick may solve this problem. Right-click on your Desktop. See if
there is an option in your list called "Video Mode". If yes, then move your
mouse pointer on it and choose an appropriate resoultion. E.g. for 15"
monitor 800x600 and 17" 1024x768.

If you are not lucky then you can try one more thing yourself before you
call someone.

Right-click on your Desktop and choose Properties. If you are not able to
see even the "Properties" option then try right-clicking on top empty area of
your desktop. Click Properties. Check if you can see all the tabs like
Themese, Background etc.
Click on the "Settings" tab, if you can. If not, then use CTRL+TAB key to
move between tabs. "Settings" is the last tab in Display Properties with a
Monitor Preview. Can you see the "Screen Resolution" option in the window. If
not, then just press the Right arrow key and you will notice a change in
Preview window. Then just press Enter key.

If you are unable to do this then try moving your taskbar to right or left
side of your screen. If it is not moveable then right-click on Taskbar and
uncheck Lock the taskbar option.

I am suggesting those things because I have experience of this problem.

Let us know, if this information helps you.
