Did you change the screen resolution?

Otherwise it will be Right Click on Desktop >Appearance > Font Size
 

May be the theme problem. Is it from the microsoft or third party ones??
 

default theme...will restart later...my photoshop installation suddenly got screwed up too...need to re-install..ugh..last time i'll meddle with the system settings
 

Go to control panels ---- > Taskbar and Start Menu -----> Start Menu Tab

Besides Start Menu, click on "CUSTOMISE"

Under "General"

Ayia, self explanary there. Click whether u want BIG or small icon

;)
 

i got one fool-proof way. just format can liao.

doesn't work la..that one is for the start menu only..i'm talking about everything...desktop icons, in-program menus, etc
 

i think you play with hacktools until got virus liao.:bsmilie:
 

There's also another possibility, Right click on desktop, choose "Properties" choose "Settings", check resolution, choose "Advanced", choose "General" to change DPI settings.

:bigeyes: u got so many prob.

U can try what shadowfax suggested.

Another one is found under

Display properties -- > Appearance ----> Effects ------> Click USE LARGE ICONs !

Haha or revert back to ur Windows XP theme

Otherwise or ghost back ur PC :bsmilie:
 

how about "system restore"? restore your system to an earlier time.
 

Right Click on any part of desktop (other then icons)
Properties
Appearance
Can you see the value Item? Click on icon. Change the Size to something larger. Click apply. Is it better? Play with the various items there & different sizes till you get something that you like. You can change the font size here also. Then just save as a Scheme
 

hmmm......still no reply from him.:think: dun tell me he really format.:bsmilie:
