Default HELP!! My Computer has fooked up again, any idea's?

Just switched the bloody thing on from being online breifly this morning, and everything (size wise) seems to be out of proportion!!

Literally as i'm typing this now I can only see about 2/3rd's of the viewable screen!

Any idea's on how I adjust this, it must have a setting somewhere that changes font size etc, even the picture I had on my desktop now spreads from one side of the screen to the other!

Please help cos this is fucking me right off and i'm out of patience with it!

Come on peeps, someone must know how to rectify this shit!

Just opened up a folder in the C: Drive and all the folders opened up seperatley instead of over one-another, if you know what I mean!

It's on Windows 98, but is acting like 95!

right click onthe desktop... properties

this brings up display settings

the far right tab (settings) has a slide bar, adjust this to adjust the screen size (resolution)
