How can I get my screen back to normal size? One of the kids has done something to it. It's not just this site, it's everything.

O.K. try the following.
On the desktop right click on a blank area
Left click on properties
Now left click on Settings.
You should see a slider in the lower right titled Screen resoulution.
Try dragging the slider to the right, then cick apply and then O.K.
Follow the prompts.
This should alter the relative size of your screen

is it just when you're viewing websites or everything?

If its just websites, CTRL and + and CTRL and - cant be used to adjust the zoom in Internet explorer and Firefox

Damn it, all that is doing is making it bigger dulchie.

O.K.
Drag it the other way
That should reduce the size
