How to reduce the screen size in windows 7.How To Shrink Screen Back To Normal Size (Windows 10)

 

If the resolution of your screen is not the problem, then it might be the display. Changing the display requires the following steps as above.

If your screen only covers a certain portion of your display instead of the full screen, then the orientation just might be the problem. We will be following some of the steps as above to achieve the results. Step 5a: A window for screen resolution pops out. For a laptop screen showing tiny or large fonts, you will have to reduce it by changing the setting.

Another reason for your display screen to change from its normal size is by activation of the magnifier. Once you turn it off, everything should reset. Step 7: Check if the box beside it has a tick. Shrinking the screen size of your Windows PC back to normal should not be a hassle if you follow the steps above. If the resolution is not the problem, then it may be the display size. Try out the options given to get the perfect fix. Sarah, You have done a great job for those of us that do not know how to do all the things we need to do but do not know how.

Whew Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I shall scan for any other helps that you have blessed many with. The sliding around does not work either. I have the same problem as Mike April even the desktop is too big, extending slightly off the top of the screen. Maybe Nvidia automatically updated the drivers on my computer?

I have not changed anything and I have not downloaded anything intentionally. Since I keep my start bar at the top of the screen I was used to Mac before Windows at first I thought it had simply disappeard. I have moved it back to the bottom but now program windows and icons are cut off at the top. There are a few people saying that their desktop is too big for their monitor on the Net but there do not seem to be any solutions other than changing desktop resolution which was not a solution.

The autoresize button tries a variety of sizes and then choose the best one. But it seems to require that I keep my finger pressed on the auto-resize button for the duration of the process. But I think that I pushed the button for too little time and the screen resized to an incorrect screen size, and did not have time to realise that the size was incorrect. So the screen got stuck at the wrong size. The resize or the Restore icon in the windows are greyed out.

It happens with all the applications I open.. The size option is greyed out on mine as well. So try this. Then you can select text size. Select the size you want from the 5 options. It fixed my problem. Good luck. I use Firefox browser and had the same problem.

The text page now fits the screen just fine. Mine was set at x , and I moved it up to the next highest numbers, or one notch. Everything immediately shrunk back to normal. Google Chrome is now doing it too! I was using the tab key and hitting enter randomly and that helped but this is much better — there ARE other keys to try! Hide developer tools from non-geeks and nerds. They can be dangerous in the wrong hands — no, not me??!! I have tried everything that everyone has said to do. I just got a new hard drive and this is my newest problem.

If someone knows how to solve this problem please let me know. I play a game, and my laptop is tiny, usually when I play a game the loading page allows me to change the screen size, but this game doesnt, and the window is now too big for me to change it in the game!

WHat a pain in the ass. I had the same problem when viewing a web page that I had developed , on the Internet, even though it fitted my screen in Internet Explorer in development in my PC. After trying many of the solutions offered above — unsuccessfully, I noticed, by chance, that there is a zoom button in the bottom right of my screen. I am also having the screen picture too big but only on Netscape..

Internet Explorer are fine.. Happened to me twice. One time I just changed resolution, and moved window. The other time, I just went into video control panel and changed the center of the screen. I can not make my screen smaller and letters are oversize.

Llease help. I have the same problem and when I pressed alt plus the spacebar the window popped up, but the size option was not available to me. What else can I do? What is this Zoom button people are talking about?

I sure cannot find it. This worked for me. How do I get Netscape 7. I downloaded an image today that was too big and I have not been able to get back to the normal size yet. Not only the window is too large but the letters are huge too. My window is too large and wider than my screen.

I cannot see the top of my screen and Ctrl Alt does not work. This was so needed! My screen was showing HUGE letters! I marked correct options but when I went to mark apply and ok I found the bottom of page off screen and neither option appeared. I have tried suggestions but none work. How do I get bottom of paage to appear and the apply and ok options. Thanks Betty I never could get the 4 point compass to appear.

How can I fix this? I followed your suggestion without success. The SIZE is grayed out and does not act the way you suggest. How do I get the screen size back to normal? Then when i opens , you can see two black screens labled 1 and 2. Click on 2 and then click on resolution. Then at the side , you see colours. Then click ok , TADA … your screen will be back again to normal! I use windows 7. Out of the blue, my homepage window and every other window was too large for the screen.

Similar problem on some applications i. I adjusted it on my Eudora which I keep using sorry they have stopped upgrading but there seem to be nothing like that to deal with Windows 7. It is nothing to do with screen resolution as I have tried diff variants and changing the font size is very limited as well. However, as I said, since the contents sometimes are so small on the big size screen making the screen smaller does not help.

Would appreciate some input. PS the Restore option on the pop-up window is gray and not available, resizing the screen is not a solution to this problem since the contents on the right side on the page are not visible and I have to resort to space bar to be able to read it.

Most unsatisfactory. I have this same problem plus text is huge. Now what? Please Help!! Same problem here with Win 7. All the alert popups now show up max screen … and there are no controls on these popups.

Been looking at the problem and think it might be related to the Explorer information box. I try to use iMovie but have to manually move the wondow to see everything. Set it at to fit exactly if thats your goal.

Not only internet screen but my desktop too. I can resize the window manually so that the scrollbar shows, but there must be a fix for this. Racked my brain and solved it by counting the number of commands like 0k, cancel, tell me more etc until I would get to apply.

Blindly clicked 6 times an pressed enter and hey presto it all went back to normal. That will at least get it the right way around so you can get to work with the rest of the fixing :. Sorry, just to be clear — click tab 6 times to get the cursor to be ready to select the apply button.

Do you know anything about this? My mouse is making my pages get larger and larger. What do I do and how can I keep it from happening again. The pointer will disappear off the page and I want it to stay steady until I want it to move. Right now I have to tap the mouse and I don'[t like that at all.

I want to be in charge of the cursor not the cursor in charge of me. Do you understand what my problems are or did I make no sense. Thank you so much.

I tried everything and could not get the top of my window view back in my screen for me to see or even click on. Thank you so much!!!!! Yes thanks! I have google chrome and had to go to the tool option in the top right hand corner, the zoom option is available right in the pull down list! Hey leo! Thank you for your wisdom. Heres a new one! I have XP and a small 8. The post from Brendon fixed my problem, someone had changed my zoom level in the bottom right corner of my page in Internet Explorer.

Unfortunately, my problem was not fixed this way, but I was at least able to try using the steps Leo provided. The text on my computer was made too large and now I cannot use it at all.

I am using Windows 7. If I maximize it, the large screen comes right back, but I cannot slide a picture from my screen to my email as it is only a rectangle.
