Your 'Display Properties' Theme may have changed, so when you click the drop down arrow
nothing seems to happen.
1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties.
2. On the 'Theme' tab click on the 'Save As...' button and
save your current theme as a backup, then either select
another theme or try the following:
3. Select the 'Appearance' tab.
4. Under 'Font size:' select 'Normal'.
5. If it's already 'Normal' then change it to 'Large Fonts'
and 'Apply' then change it again to 'Normal' and 'Apply'.
6. Log-off or restart.
