Have had XP for awhile and have always had it on this
laptop. This afternoon when I booted up, the apps were
larger (taking up more screen space)by a factor of at
least 3 or 4..akin to the way a display behaves at low
resolution. I reset the resolution and the apps have
shrunk (I think). But the desktop is like 4 to 8 times
its normal size. I can have 3 apps open and all I can
see unless I scroll around and hunt for them is the
desktop wallpaper.

Not all apps are normal sized either. IE runs about 4
pages long. Fonts are set to normal.

Any idea about cause/remedy?

Thanks....
 
Check the DPI settings, go to display properties >
settings tab > advanced button.
See if the DPI is set to normal or large scale.
