    This is a weird problemsuddenly,out of the blue,im not able to see whole web pages or even startup icons.all my desktop icons have been moved to the very left of my screen,so i cant even see them all.even the icons on the taskbar i can only see one of them,cant see the rest of them.even my start button isn't visable.on web pages,i cant even maximase or minunmise the page,because the top boxes where you would do that are to far to the right to see them.i can get a glimpseof one of the boxes,everythings there,but for whatever reason my screen has shrunk where i can hardly do anything.if my mouse wasnt able to scroll,id be unable to do anything.what could cause this?this sucks!anyhelp would be welcome,ive never heard of anything like this.oh,and ive made no changes to my computer.

    There should be some buttons on the front of your monitor to adjust the screen. You should be able to move the window around until it's centered the way you want it.

    Hey,

    If you have an LCD monitor, you should have an autofix button on the monitor which will automatically center the desktop.

    If you have a CRT monitor, maybe your resolution settings got changed somehow. To change the resolution settings:

    1. Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.
    2. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab.
    3. Drag the Screen resolution slider to the right to increase your monitor’s resolution, making text and pictures appear smaller.
    4. Click Apply to have the new resolution take effect.

    ive tried changing my settings in display,it still doesn't help the problem.ive used my menu buttons on the monitor,which will move and change the size of what i'm seeing,but i still can't see whole web pages.i can't even see all that i'm posting now.if i move the page to the right,i can see my taskbar icons but not my start button on the left.if i move it to where i can see my start menu button,i can't see my taskbar icons.i cannot miinimise or maximise web pages without constantly having to use my menu buttons so i can see the box at the top.i don't know what's going on,but it's making it a hassle to even nagivate the web.

    Can you grab the edges of your window and change the size that way?

    i have tried all of that.i can drag the page some,but it still never shows the whole picture.and ive tried all my menu buttons,it will change the size and corners of what i'm seeing,but it still doesn't show the whole screen.if i move things to the right,i can't see the left corner,and vice versa.for example,i can't see both my icon tray in the lower right corner and the start button on the left corner,it has to be one or the other,can't see them both at once.ive tried every screen resolution that i know,and it does no good.whether i have the screen maximised or minimised,i still cant see all that is there.i wish i could explain this better,i don't think i'm doing a very good job of that.maybe there is no solution,i sure can't think of anything else to try.i have to use the history option on top to go back a page,i can't see the back arrow,unless i want to use the menu button to go the other way but then that makes it where i see even less,anyway,if anyone can think of something else i can try,i would be greatful,thanks.
