    desktop scrolling

    this is probably easy to fix, but I have no clue how it even happened. I accidentally hit something on my keyboard and my desktop screen got magnified. Now my desktop is larger and my whole screen scrolls everytime I move my mouse. can somebody tell me how to reset my desktop to normal please?

    Go to the Apple Menu>System Preferences.

    Then go to Universal Access, and it has Zoom options there.

    I hope this helps.

    And command-option-8 toggles the ability to zoom on and off. All of this is configurable in the Keyboard preference pane.
