Screen Issues

Can anyone help?! all my open pages in safari, word, excel etc are for some reason not fitting within my MacPro screen. Its not zoom issues I have already tried that, I've checked the universal preferences etc. Its driving me mad.... any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Is your screen resolution set to the native resolution of the screen you're using?

I have no idea?! Not entirely sure how I check that either... !!!

Apple menu => System Preferences => Displays. Report back which resolution is chosen (e.g. 1440x900, 1280x800, etc).

1280 x 800....

What happens if you click the little green button at the upper left corner of each of the windows?

It just enlarges the view but doesn't make the page fit without have to loose the top or bottom. The view is normal you just cant see the applications menus etc...

I must have pressed a pretty knarly combination to have caused this issue. Its driving me mad!

Thank you for your advice.

Sorry to jump in.

Is the zoom feature turned on in System Prefs>Universal Access by any chance? If it is turn it off.

I have tried that but sadly its not the answer.

Thank you though.

Any chance we could get a screen shot? It's kind of hard to troubleshoot it blind.

I restarted my computer twice last night and guess what... problem solved!

Thank you for all your help. Much appreciated.
