Hey gang...I have recently had to switch over to windows 7 and I'm having problems with what I call 'size scaling'. I am an avid internal mousepad user due to traveling so much meaning I use the little mousepad built into the computer. Sometimes I do something that makes the print really small and sometimes I do something that makes things REALLY BIG.
I can't seem to control this and worse I can't seem to undo what I've done. HELP!!! While a great feature...its driving me nuts right now.

If you take two fingers and start at opposite corners you can drag them in towards each other on the small pad to zoom in and away from each other to zoom out.
If that does not help, then I am not sure what you are referring too. Try that and get back to me.

It could also be if you are holding Ctrl and drag your finger along the right side of the pad it may do the scaling thing.

Simon that worked and I once again can see things in NORMAL size! 
Joe I have not held the control key down however the right combination of dragging my finger using the mouse AND holding the left mouse click down seems to also 'accidently' scale things either smaller but mostly larger.
Thank you bunches!!! Believe it or not...some things are just too big!!

You can also make the screen size bigger or smaller by using the "CTRL - " or the "CTRL +"
That is simultaneously press the CTRL and the - (Minus) or + (plus) keys. Very useful for sizing the screen.
