Systems Settings in Win XP

I have been playing with my display settings ,font sizes and the like and have run into a snag.
I cannot go back to the smaller sizes as they come default .
The windows that open for any of the settings are so bug that I can't get to the "apply" or "ok" buttons.

HELP ME????

Have u tried right clicking on your mouse to get to properties then to display settings. On the settings tab check to see what your screen resoulution is set at. Try changing to a higher resoulution to see if that works.

I think he's trying that guys, but he can't click the buttons...how about hitting return, or alt-a for "apply".

I just tried it, do this:

Right click desktop, click properties--click settings tab, hit tab 3 times--hit return--hit up arrow at least twice--hit return again, then again--then once more. Should reset back to 96dpi, normal font settings.

Manners, Martoch, Manners!!!
