Your kids must have changed the text size. Go to View at the top of your window and check that.

Try going to Start, Control Panel, Display, Settings. Screen resolution 800x600 is what mine is set on

Click on Control Panel, Display, Appearance and check the Font Size, there is an option there for XL Fonts, maybe it got changed there. It should be on normal.

Tried both of them and everything is set right . It isn't just the fonts it's the overall look-like its magnified.

Did you try shutting it off and restarting? Is it by any chance in "safe mode"

http://www.nataliedee.com/061404/cumputer.jpg <- love that site.
In future, setting the resolution to something like 1280x760 might help. 800x600 is going to look pretty big on a modern computer.
