If it has a multi touch mouse pad tap it then pinch together on it.
Sounds like a resolution setting…
Click on Apple Logo in top left corner.
Click on System Preferences.
Under Hardware category – click on Displays.
Change the resolution to the highest it can go.
Hopefully that can fix the problem.
Okay, now I’m starting to panic…
Is the full desktop visible? I’m trying to establish if this is a resolution/display setting or a zoomed in feature or the magnifying glass feature.
If you move your mouse around… does the screen shift around with it?
What if you right click not the desktop, choose -Show View Options, then slide the bar on grid size & icon size & see if that manually changes the icon resolution.
Control and the minus sign should bring down the size of items inside your windows. Apple – Dock – Preferences might help with some things, too.
