Yup. Somehow your monitor's resolution has been lowered.

Even easier, right click on a part of the desktop with no icons or menus on it and click properties. That’ll take you straight to the display settings.

This happens frequently after doing a windows update due to a flaw in some of the video drivers they provide. However ususally in this case the color depth drops to 16, which is kind of scary.

My PC just had nasty problems and caused a host of issues including turning off Microsoft updates, made removing any programs impossible in Add/Remove amongst a host of other issues.

I purged my PC of a whole bunch uninvited guests last night, who came in and took over!

The only way I got back control was to download TrojanHunter Scanner. It's free for a 30 day trial and found trouble my other two virus scanners overlooked. My PC is like new now!
