Desktop too large for screen

Hi all,
Suddenly the desktop on my iMac extends beyond the limits of the monitor on all sides. That is, if I can see the the program name in the title bar I can't see the time or my icons on the right. If I use the dock then the top inch of the screen disappears.
Any suggestions?

Check "Universal Access" in your system preferences - it's happened to me when I got all thumbs and accidently hit the right key combination which turned on the Zoom feature... either that or you have a friend who knows how to turn it on and they're playing a prank. If it's not that, then I don't know.

Thanks, Zane. It turns out "zoom" was set to "option and command" with the mouse rather than control, but you put me on the solution. Much appreciated.
