What can I do to fix my computer screen...everything is huge....?

Everything was normal with regard to my computer. I downloaded a trial version of an online game, played it, and then went to go shower leaving my computer on. When I get back, everything on my computer screen is HUGE! ...So huge that I can't even see the entire Y/A page. I checked my screen resolution which seemed fine, but clicked on 100% just to make sure, but that did no good it's still HUGE. What could have happened and how do I fix this? Any help will be so greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance and ~God bless!~

    Are you talking about the page where you select these options?:

    Smaller - 100% (default)

    Medium - 125%

    Large - 150%

    If so, these are not resolution settings. To change your resolution in Windows 7/Vista right click the desktop and click "Screen resolution". Make sure this is set to the highest.

    If it is set to the highest already, then try restarting your computer to see if that helps. There may be some processes left over from the game making the resolution small.

    Right click desktop

    Screen resolution

    Change the resolution (Something like 1280x800)

    Apply changes.

    That should do it.

    restart the computer. If that doesn't work, set your screen resolution to something less than 100%.

    right click on your desktop, go to the bottom and click on personalize, go to display setting and click on that, you will see resolution set your resolution to the best for you and save it.
