Hey! If anyone can help me I would appreciate it so much.

I have ran norton antivirus and it did not find anything.

When I turned on my computer today, all of the task bars and the start
menu bar was BLUE. They are normally gray. When I tried fixing it in
DISPLAY from control panel, suddenly all the task bars are HUGE and the
buttons (minimize, close,) are HUGE. Then I try to adjust that and all
my start menu icons get TINY.

How did all this happen? What is this?

In a possibly related note, my AOL has been acting crazy, all of my
favorite places got deleted and i keep getting error messages.


I'm wondering if some sort of virus is attacking my windows or if
something in my registry got changed?

Thanks so much,

Jordan
 
In addition:

My sound settings have changed and now if i click on a taskbar it makes
an annoying windows "click" noise.

Again I have no clue why over night all of my windows settings changed
and started acting crazy.

Have you tried going to an earlier restore point?
(Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore)
