I have a macbook. My 3 year old apparently hit some button yesterday. Let me describe the issue Im having. The "desktop screen" appears to be larger than what the screen is able to show. Almost like you're looking through a rectangle or something. The mouse "moves" the screen around. Describing the issue is pretty difficult but I hope that someone can help.

Hello, try pressing the "option", "command", and "8" keys at the same time.

First thing you try is an external monitor to see if its a screen issue or video adapter issue.
