Cat walked on keyboard...now have huge print, icons etc.

I have a XP Pro Toshiba laptop. My cat walked on the right side of my
keyboard and stood there. Since that happened, all my browers and
screens, print and icons are huge.
I have searched my control panel for options on print and nothing but
HOW to make the print larger for people who have trouble reading print.

I feel that the cat must have used some keyboard shortcut to zoom the
print to huge.
I have searched the Microsoft website for XP Pro and found nothing.
I am posting here and if I do not get a solution, I will just restore
to an earlier date and that should fix it, but I wanted to try here
first.
On the right side of the XP Pro keyboard is a numeric keypad, this is
about where she stood.
Thanks ahead of time,
donnalynne

Right click on a blank spot on your desktop, Properties, Settings,
Advanced.

See if you have any options there that might help.

 

blabbered in 24hoursupport.helpdesk:

Let the cat walk on the keyboard again to correct the problem.

 

Today spoke these views with
conviction for everyone's edification:

You've not killed the cat yet? <grin>

 

Thanks for the comeback, but that did not work. All the settings say
normal size...I was only given the option of going larger.

Found the answer....after doing a Google with the words Cat & Keyboard,
I found out the cat walked on the keyboard and stood on the Fn key and
the spacebar at the same time!
I was able to press these two together and get back my normal
print!!!! doing happy dance!!
Soooo glad that is fixed...the good news is now I know how to magnify
the screen without going to the Accessibility program and opening the
Magnifer !!
thanks again,
donnalynne

 

now I am off....to read up on the other shortcut keys and the Fn key
