Do you mean, you have huge icons? If so, that's normal. Can you see "Safe Mode" in all 4 corners of your screen?
Let me know, if this is the case.

Not yet, if you still want to save few bucks.
1. Ask around for that Windows XP CD, because we may eventually need it. It'd save time, if that CD had same service pack on it, as you have on your Windows installation. If it's gonna be just straight XP CD, we still can use it.
Meanwhile...
2. Download Windows Recovery Console: http://www.thecomput...om/files/rc.iso
Download, and install free Imgburn: http://www.imgburn.c...hp?act=download
Using Imgburn, burn rc.iso to a CD.
Boot to the CD...let it finish loading.
You will be at a command prompt window.
At the prompt type in fixboot and hit Enter.
Remove the CD and re-boot.

If no joy-joy repeat the above procedure except type in fixmbr and hit Enter.
Again remove the CD and re-boot.
