Is she looking at it through a magnifying glass? That would cause this issue.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:14, Reply)

try looking at the magnifying glass through a microscope. that should sort it out

Get her to move her chair backwards

When you say "everything magnified" does it possibly look like some prick might have been fucking about with the resolution?

I thought you came here to get away from this sort of shit

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:16, Reply)

So did I.

Yeah possibly but it happened overnight when she came back to her comp

Oh yeah, the old "it happened by itself, or maybe wizards".

"Oh no, I'm definitely putting my password in right, it's got to be something wrong with the system"
"Hello, my internet's running slow, is there soemthing wrong with the server?"
"No, I definitely didn't delete them, there must be a problem"
"It did it by itself!"

In all of these events, the person calling you definitely did something stupid.

Nah not that. it's her actual home screen and icons

( GeordieJay Bummers are deaf, Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:24, Reply)

Resolution.

( Kroney, Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:25, Reply)

Probably
right click on the desktop screen and adjust the scree resolution, there will be an option saying recommended...

Last possible one just make sure it doesn't say "safe mode" in the corners of the screen if it does then restart

She doesn't know how to get into settings. She can barely wipe her own arse.

( GeordieJay Bummers are deaf, Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:38, Reply)

In that case it's definitely a picnic, pebkac or wetware error

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:39, Reply)

She definitely definitely definitely did it.
Settings don't randomly change. Stuff doesn't randomly stop working. Stuff doesn't randomly get deleted. People absolutely are idiots. People absolutely lie.

You are going to need to learn this lesson if you're to survive, Jase.

I recon a good 60-70% of all professional interaction
is people covering for their incompetence and stupidity.
(Baggenfrock get fucked, Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:46, Reply)

It's a surprise to me how people lie about this sort if stuff,
I wonder sometimes they're just so dense they don't realise what they're doing and genuinely think it's not their fault.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 14 Nov 2014, 10:46, Reply)

Yes, undoubtedly.
