Oversized Text

Here I go again, what is it they say? ( A friend in need is a pest )

I have just finished loading on a programme called WinonCD 3.7. After I rebooted, all the icons and text on the desktop and all other programmes are greatly oversized, so large in fact that I can not get to the area in the display section, to reduce the size does any one know of a way to get round this. Thanks in advance. BUMTY

minimize all windows and right click on the desktop > properties > settings > move the slider on screen area (bottom right)

sounds like winoncd made a mess somewhere

Just boot to safe mode by pressing F8 when the PC starts up. Choose safe mode and when the desktop appears, right-click on the desktop, choose properties-and adjust the fonts either from settings or appearance.
