Can anyone please help me? Somehow my screen is really big. I have to move the screen from side to side to see different parts of my emails, games, pics ect. I've tried dpi, personalization ect. This occured after I uninstalled something I recently installed because it wasn't working properly. beatsme.gif confused.gif

Agreed, this happened to me when I set my resolution too high on a computer with a monitor that couldn't handle it. Most of the time, in this situation, the monitor would just flicker but some systems make it do what you are experiencing where the screen seems to scroll with the cursor.

Just set your resolution lower:
If using Windows XP
  1. Right click on desktop
  2. Choose Properties
  3. Click the settings tab
  4. move the resolution slider lower
  5. click ok

If using Windows Vista
  1. Right click on desktop
  2. Choose Personalize
  3. Click Display Settings
  4. move the resolution slider lower
  5. click ok

Forgive me for the patronising lists, my University course requires it in my labs so I'm trying to get in the habbit of doing it.
