The print is so small that you can not read enough to tell where the
different settings are. The icons are fine it is the font/print under the
icons and on the start button that you can not read.

read it so I can't not tell where or what to click. When I click the start
button every thing is too small to read. I think I may have a real problem.

Hi Elly,

Try using System Restore - if none of the other steps have proven
successful. Use the green start button - lower left hand corner. Click on the
question mark - icon - type in the words "system restore"

Are you able to read any of the results?

Let me know - sorry you are having problems - I know how frustrating it is -
after hours and hours of playing with this stuff. Let me know - Craig

Hi,
Try this:
Hold down the CTRL Key and Scroll with the mouse Middle button and see if
that will enlarge the Font.
If not then Open a run command by pressing the Win Key + R and type in:
sysdm.cpl click [OK] or Hit [Enter] key on your keyboard.

Another try this fix:
Line 4 - 1st colum: for Repair the Icon View:
