A few days ago, my system locked up, and I had to shut it down cold witht he power switch. On restart a few minutes later, following the usual system check, the icons in Windows, and indeed in every window opened including internet browsers, are sized large. Suspecting the system had activated the large icons option in the control panel, I investigated, and this isn't the case. In fact, turning that choice on sets the icons to a ridiculous size.

This is all on Windows 98, and it has me stumped. Anyone care to affer some advice?

Thanks

Sounds to me like the screen resolution may have reverted to 640 x 480. To check, right-click anywhere on the desktop except on an icon, select "Properties", click on the "Settings" tab, and change your resolution to whatever you require.

If that doesn't work, post back here....
