I use to have an icon to makke the print and pictures smaller on my computer.   Now for some reason every time I touch the mouse the pictures and screen images just keep getting larger and I have no control over it it seems.  They are so large now I can't read half of the info. or play my games.  I have tried going to the display area and clicking smaller but nothing changes.  I hope you can help.  Thank you.

    Hello Magnolia7381,

    Try using the scroll button on your mouse and hold the Ctrl key down on keyboard.

    This is an easy way to increase/decrease the size of pictures and text on your screen.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Hi Magnolia,

    1.       What is the make and model number of the computer/printer?

    2.       Have you made any changes to the computer prior to this issue?

    3.       Do you get any error code or error message?

    I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Run the Performance troubleshooter and check if it works.

    Open the Performance troubleshooter:

    Method 2:

    Try updating the graphics card drivers from the manufacturer’s website or from Windows update and check if the issue persists.

    Update a driver for hardware that isn’t working properly:

    Also refer the following Microsoft article for any issue related to printer.

    Hope the information is helpful.
