I was playing a game on my laptop (a big thing I use my laptop for) and when I got off of it all my icons and my background photo where very very zoomed. I turned it off and back on and nothing helped, there is no overheating in it. I'm not sure what else I could do, I've already disabled the pinch-zoom

@Baby_Girl,

 

Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  What you are seeing is a change in configuration from the game you where playing.  The settings got change to handle the resolution for the game and when it quit the resolution did not switch back to normal like it should.  I had one game that did this all the time.  Every time i left the game i had to go and change the display settings.

 

Here is a link that should help you out.

 

Get the best display on your monitor

 

I hope this helps.  If not do a system restore back to before you started the game.

 

How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC

 

Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

Yeah, I figured it out after about 2 hours. I had to go to:

Start --> Control Panel --> Appearance and Personalization --> Display --> Adjust Screen Resolution

Display: 1. Mobil PC Display
Resolution: 1366 x 768 (recommended)
Orientation: Landscape

It had reset it to:
Resolution: 800 x 600
