Log in to?

IE full screen is F11 but you can still see all buttons etc.

Be more specific?

Right, so assuming I have this right:

1. ALT + Space -  should bring up a menu, (no matter if you can't see menu as it is off screen)
2. DownArrow, DownArrow, return - this selects "size"
3. upArrow - (this should shove the mouse icon onto the top of the window - you may not see it if it is off screen).
4. DownArrow until the top of the window returns into view
5. 'Esc'ape to exit.

Maybe the resolution is wrong? Go to the desktop and change it, or alter the display settings on the monitor.

Update....in the end it was a matter of adjusting the re size button on the monitor!

There is a plus and minus on the actual monitor and it must have been knocked,thats what happens when you get used to laptops,...didn't even know there were buttons on the monitor,pressed the minus button and it adjusted to the normal size >:( >:(

Johny gave me the nudge by mentioning monitor :D
