Help, I'm a dimwit
« on: May 26, 2016, 02:53:15 PM »
I need help from you guys.

Last night my nephew was tapping away on my keyboard (I left it unattended), since then all the writing on the screen is super small, my old eyes are struggling to read it.

Now I worked out that it's probably the settings, but where the hell do I go to rest them, I'm running win10.

Please help this dimwit as my eyes hurt.

Everything is super small? Or just the text in the web browser?

Web browsers have a zoom thingy. Under View options normally. 100% is the normal setting, although I set my Dads to 125% to make it easier for him.

I'm running Microsoft edge, can't see any view options.

Hold down the ctrl key on the keyboard and use the mouse scroll button up and down in the browser window, see what happens.  Should be all zoomy inny-outy (technical term for it).
