My Mac's screen has become magnified for no reason. I left the house and nobody was able to mess with it, and I come back everything is magnified to be like twice as big. I've gone to universal access in system preferences and can't fix it, and it has zoom off as checked. I also can't make it stop by holding control and moving the wheel thing on my mouse. Anything I can do to fix this error?
Got a tip for us?

Do you run a mac mini? Or a laptop connected to an external monitor? My Powerbook g4 used to mess up its own resolution every once in awhile. After a sleep or a power on, the resolution would be all messed up. This didn't happen every time but it did happen every once in awhile.
I think you misunderstood what I asked. Mac OS X is an operating system, not a type of computer. Do you have a laptop that you extend onto an external monitor?
What system do you have? Click the apple logo in the top left, select "About this Mac", then click "more info", and tell us the model number of your computer. For example, mine is "macmini3,1"

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
All I really want is to reset the screen resolution to the default settings, though.
