Why is my screen so magnified all of a sudden?

Question

2 days ago, when I started working on the computer, the screen size was greatly magnified, so that I can't fit a page on the screen. The kids were playing on it before, so I don't know if they hit something to reset the size.

I tried decreasing font size, etc., but nothing has worked. I've turned off and restarted, etc.

Before, I could fit the yahoo home page totally on the screen (width), but now I have to scroll left and right to see everything (big pain!!)

What am I missing? Any suggestions to reset screen size?

This is a mac (emac) OS X 10.4.11.

Thanks

Answer 1

try changing the screen resolution

Instructions here: http://www.west.asu.edu/it/start/faqs/re...

the standard one is 1024 X 786 (or the one closest to that)
