I must have accidentally hit something on my computer and now the words appear very small, the screen seems to be spread out more on my MSN homepage.  I tried to go to computer control panel and make it larger, but it only allows 100% or 125% and the 125% is really large and doesn't fill in the screen.  Does anyone know how I can correct this?

Try holding the control key and pressing the + key.

Did you try re-booting the computer?

Just push the control (ctrl) button along with the zero button (0) at the same time. That wil bring it back to 100%

This is basically a screen resolution issue most of the time. The lower the numbers like say: 800×600, is going to make icons bigger and take up more of the screen. Higher numbers like: a 1280×720 will make icons etc much smaller.

 

If you are using Windows, it depends on what version you are using. Easy to find info on google should this happen again.
