Hi, My son was  using the computer , when suddenly desktop changes to a kind of big icons display and weird slope in windows explorer as well as browser. When i click any thing the close red x does not display at th top right, instead the browser display to 80 percent of screen leaving some gap in the top. Moreover the  tray icon bar has some what become bigger in size.
              what is the problem and give the cure immediately pl

Samson:
Check and adjust the screen resolution. Right click on the desktop, select "properties" then "settings" adjust the resolution then "apply" followed by "OK" (XP, but probably similar for Win 7  :wink:)

Here you go, for Win 7....http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/255-screen-resolution-display-settings.html

Still_Game:
If Samson's suggestion doesn't solve the problem, I'd use the most recent restore point to get back to a point when things were  working satisfactorily.

Boggin:
Have you checked to see what the message in Action Center says ?

I don't know if XP has Reliability history but Win 7 does and can be accessed by starting to type that at Start and press enter when View reliability history is highlighted.

Hi, boggin
                      I have seen and clicked . There were some red spot. But that does not suggest anything connected with the monitor.
                      I learnt and did the reset try and degaussed the monitor. But the problem still persists. Everything colour and all are ok. But when i click the explorer or browser, it does not occupy the full space of monitor.
                       I also noticed that when Starting Windows screen is appearing, it appears to the right of the centre point of monitor , which is unusual. Is there a fix. how did it happen , i do not know.
                        Even after resetting the monitor, my monitor has a reset and if i select, it asks for ok or cancel and if i press the button ok, Done is the message i got. so, i had reset the monitor.
                           Degaussing is also shown as a option and if i select it and press the button, there was some distortion in the video and then it shows correctly. Probably the deguass is done correctly.
                            But still the problem persists. how to know it is hardware or software problem and how to fix it
