Everything's giant! Text, graphics, cursor...

I was playing a game (Neverwinter Nights) and when I quit, everything in
Windows turned gigantic. Well, not gigantic, but I'd guess about 150% of
their usual size. So there's not enough room on my monitor for
everything--for example, my start menu doesn't have space to show all the
icons. I can't figure out a way to change things back to normal size. Help
would be appreciated. Thanks!

It sounds like the game changed your display resolution. Go to the
Display applet (Control Panel) and click on the Settings tab. Use the
slider to change the resolution back to the normal setting. I can't
tell you the normal setting since you didn't give details about your
monitor, but generally:

17" crt - 1024 x 768
17" lcd - 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024
19" crt/lcd - 1280 x 1024

Widescreen 1280 x 800

Cpanel>Display>Settins & increase it with sliders.

Any advise given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS (Normally, Usually, Generally, Sometimes :)
 
Worked perfectly. Thanks! You are Brilliant.
