My parents wanted to watch a DVD so I went and setup my computer TV-out on our TV...

When I powered up my comp, it was displaying as if there were no display drivers installed (even tough I use winXP and it usually detect a default graphic card good enough to go 32bits color and all..). I think I had 4 colors display (never seen that before).

Anyway, I re-installed 40.72 display drivers, and everything went back to normal... and my parents looked at their rented DVDs.

Now I pluged back my computer on my monitor and what now?
All of fonts and icons were all huge/weird.. and I am using same resolution/color dept/refresh I use to. It's all ugly and I don't even know how to get it back to normal!

I feel kinda dumb to re-install my windowsXP just because of that!
Oh damn computers....

**EDIT**
Oh my this is getting me sick, basically every fonts in my computers are changed.. mIRC display differently.. everything! YARG!!

I think it's display, appearance, effects and enable clear type. Otherwise go to system, advanced, performance settings, and pick adjust for best appearance.

I got it... DPI was changed (how did I not think of that before)
But misteriously... I have absolutly no idea how it was changed.. I have a serious doubt my parents touched that

the way I use my computer.. I have no other shortcut anywhere then the quicklaunch.. no desktop shortcuts, no start menu shortcuts.

My quicklaunch is just everything.. I think it works great and fast

do you really need to 'quick launch' two seperate versions of 3dmark? :D
