Size of programs and background picture

I turned on my computer one day and everything is smaller than it used to be.
My background picture is half the size,
Internet Explorer when opened up, the actual webpage covers only half the
width of the screen now,
Outlook only opens up to cover about half the screen as well.

I can't figure out what caused this or how to correct it.

I believe on Windows XP while on your wallpaper or background you could
simply right click on it and then open up the properties and then go to
settings and change your screen resolution..

Can't find that in Vista!!!

Hello,
to go to the screen resolution change menu, right-click your Desktop ->
Personalize -> Display Settings. If right-click doesn't work, go to the
Control Panel and click on "Appearance and Personalization" -> "Adjust
screen resolution".

Please tell us if your problem is solved.
