Hold down the CTRL key (on the bottom left corner of the keyboard) and use the mouse wheel... to zoom back out

Good to hear. So you were talking about your desktop icons, or the webpage that you were viewing?

when your display driver updates your resolution is sometimes reset to 800x600. This is particularly true with NVidia adapters.
