I don't know what I did - probably a DEFAULT instruction or something BUT - now when I look at anything in Windows the task bars and the font are large...and my e-mail message exceeds the size of the screen - I've tried everything to get it to look normal to no avail. HELP!
 
You probably set your DPI setting too high, to lower:

Right click the Desktop > Properties > Settings tab > Advanced

You will see Display DPI Setting: with combo box.

The default in xp is 96, if you have it set any higher that's the culprit, so you can lower it to 96 and hit Ok to save settings. You might have to restart computer for changes to take effect.

If that doesn't fix the issue, please come back to this topic and let us know
