Please go to start, then control panel. Select the ease of access option. Then select, optomize visual display. Now scroll down to "make the things on the screen larger" If Magnifyer is turned on, uncheck the box. You can also click on Change the size of text and icons and make sure it is set on the defualt size. If it is on Larger scale, this could be your problem.

You can also check your desktop icons by right clicking on your desktop and selecting "view." You can then choose between small med and large icons.

I hope this has solved your problem and would appreciate an accept and feedback! Anymore questions please do not hesistate to ask!

 

All the best,

Ok let's try to change the screen resolution. Right Click on the desktop. Select personalize. Then select display settings. Bring the resolution slider up to high. This should make the screen resolution smaller. You can adjust the slider to the resolution that works best for you. Let me know how this works out...
