- Display on Desktop - Enlarged Icons and Text
- Posted by rhonda on April 18th, 2006
I got to my computer this morning, and the icons and text are enlarged. I
tried going to display in the control panel. I am on the lowest resolution,
but the next step up makes the icons a lot smaller than before. I have also
messed with the display settings directly on my monitor and feel I have made
it worse. I restarted my computer and it doesn't change it back to the way
it was yesterday. Now I feel I have changed so much and made the problem
worse. My screen is actually shaking or vibrating too. How can I just
restore to the system defaults?

Altering the display to a higher resolution will have the effect of making
desktop icons smaller.
It sound like you may have altered the refresh rate, too high

make the refresh rate smaller?

If you right click on the desktop;
select properties>settings tab>Advanced
Depending on your adapter/driver you may see a screen with further tabs one
of which is your display adapter there will be a 'refresh rate' drop down,
or you may simply see a btn for 'List all modes'
A 'common resolution' would be 1064x678 with a refresh of 75
