    Default My screen is funky!!!

    Decided to grab a cup of java and upon returning to the computer I see my 2 year old got at the key board. My screen now displays smack in the middle with black around the sides. I can't close this site nor do a search to see how to fix this screen! The top of this page isn't there (can't see the address box/search box).

    I can press the CTRL and +/- button to get it to zoom in (which I really had to because now I can't see anything! I've tried pressing things but keep getting something else and really don't want ot get into more trouble here.

    Anyone know how to fix this??

    CTRL + ALT + DELETE - should start the task manager. Then you can restart the computer....?? That's what i would do anyway... good luck!

    Umm, think we could see a picture of you typing with the “French Thing” on and let us be the judge of that?

    It was probably F11 which put the browser into full screen mode. F11 again will pop it out.
