if you have a trackpad, try pinching to zoom out like you do with your mobile. if you have a mouse you can plug in you can hold down CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel as well to zoom them back out.

Get the mouse and throw it as far as you can and hopefully the cat will run after it

the cat has ate them.........wait til the cat goes for a dump and shits the icons out.........pick them up and do a Dynamo and chuck them at the computer and lo and behold they'll be back on the screen .......MAGIC!!!!!!! :D





failing that, try a system restore to the day before it happened

Sounds like the cat has managed to switch on the magnify option.  I guess windows M is the keyboard shortcut to switch it off? 

Anyone else accidentally pressed cntl alt and arrow keys and ended up with the screen rotated?
