Hello barb6434,

I understand that your magnifier is on.

There should be a magnifying glass on the screen, if you click on that you should see an X to close the magnifier.

Also you can Click on the Start button
All Programs
Accessories
Ease of Access Center

Then click on 'Make the computer easier to use' near the bottom.

Then unchecked 'Turn on Magnifier'. Hit OK.

For the screen saver if you right click on the desktop

Click personalize

Click screen saver.

Change to blank.

Since it has not been to long since the changes were made, you can run a system restore.

This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.


Here is a link on how to do a restore.

Let me know how everything goes.
