What has happened to my laptop's icon labels' font size & how can I fix it?

It's not just my browser. I know how to go to "View" in my browser and zoom in/out, and that's not the problem. The actual web pages are fine; the problem is the labels for the icons on the desktop, the taskbar, the toolbar... everything. The font is too small. I haven't changed any settings, so maybe this was caused by an automatic update? I have Windows 7 & a 64-bit system, if that matters. I've looked everywhere I know to look for the setting that has somehow gotten changed, including the control panel. What else can I try?

Did you try fiddling with the screen resolution?  Changes in screen res can mess with the way the desktop looks.  It's in the control panel somewhere.

Did you try restarting? Sometimes that will reset everything.

Yep. Dh is in computers and this is pretty much his solution to anything. It usually works.

I tweaked a couple of things and now it's working. Thanks!
