You've tried rebooting?
I think it's more probably your monitor setting than anything else. What do you have?
What's your video card?

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

You didn't just play an old, old, computer game, did you?
Some of them would set your monitor resolution to 640x480, then "forget " to set it back.
Trouble is, just resetting to default might not work, depending on how old your computer is.
Are you running XP? Vista? 98?
In any case, try right-clicking on the desktp somewhere where there isn't an icon. You should get a menu that includes something like "Properties." Click on that, then look for something called "Settings." Under that, look for Screen Resolution. I'm guessing you had yours set to 1024x768. In any case, right now it's too small, so try setting it to something bigger.
Good luck!
