Display became stretched horizontally-how do I 'normalise' it?
Dell Vostro 1500, XP, SP3. I did something that caused the screen move on to stretched horizontally aspect and I am unable to find a way to return to normal. I played a bit with display in Panel configuration, but without success. I'm sure it's something simple, but apparently not for me. Any advice?
Thanks in advance...
Hello
Maybe it's that you have changed the screen resolution.
- Click with the right button on a part empty your desktop, and then click Properties
- Click on the settings tab
- Move the resolution slider all the way to the right
- It should choose the native resolution of your monitor
- Click OK
You tell us what you tried when you 'played', of course, you already tried this. If you do not want to suggest things that you've already tried it please let us know exactly what you have tried.

onmy dell display is distorted (stretched horizontally)
display is stretched horizontally, not round like it used to be.
Make sure the graphics display drivers are correctly installed, reinstall if necessary to ensure that
Screens come in a number of width for wide screens, height ratios normally 16:9 or 16:10, but the traditional screens are 4:3. If you set the resolution on it like 1024 x 768, but display it on a large screen is 1366 x 768 horizontal of the image will be stretched to fit the screen.

PROTECTED R700: display became grainy videos streaming
Hi all
I recently bought a new Toshiba protégé R700 or Tecra in the Canadian market.
There Windows7 64 bit installed with all unnecessary programs removed.It is my first day with it until I noticed the display problem during playback of streaming videos online such that veetle youtube etc..
The display became grainy and 720 p YouTube looks not nice at all.Please some advice for those who have managed to overcome this problem, thank you.
Hello
It of difficult to say anything on this issue
You compared the videos on other screens of computers or perhaps on an external monitor which could focus on the R700?How about you play other videos that are stored on the HARD drive; for example mpeg, MPEG4, avi, mov, etc.?

objects and text on the screen appear to be "stretched" horizontally.
all objects and images on the screen seem to be "stretched" horizontally with all applications and web sites. A good example is a picture of someone... the normal image is large and thin person... on my screen, they appear to be shorter and wider... lol
find manual for my screen... it is AOC model 2219V1. As I have explained, I tried to change the resolution. When I change the resolution on my side of the computer, then my husbands is affected. There is something that I realized that I can't re-create or find... You have any other suggestions... Thanks for your help. What would happen if I reload windows software... do you think all the settings back to the original settings? If I reload windows, will I lose the documents and files on my computer?
I do not see where you said you tried to change the resolution. You have changed the DPI, but it's different than to change the resolution (although can be connected to ALSO change the resolution.)
The resolution is not independent - that is when you change the resolution of the screen of the user, it is on this size for all users of the computer. Your original problem was:
all objects and images on the screen seem to be "stretched" horizontally with all applications and web sites. A good example is a picture of someone... the normal image is large and thin person... on my screen, they appear to be shorter and wider... lol
This means that you are using a large non-ecran on a screen resolution and screen is allowing it to fill the entire screen.
You say you have the AOC 2219V1 monitor)<-- linked="" to="" there)="" and="" according="" to="" the="" specifications="" on="" that="" web="" page,="" the="" resolution="" you="" want="" to="" set="" the="" monitor="" at="" is:="" 1680="" x="" 1050="" @="">-->
So, in your case, if you have the correct driver for your video card installed * and * says video card supports widescreen resolutions (what is a new monitor?) then you should...
1.
Open display in Control Panel.
2.
On the tab settings in the screen resolution, drag the slider to the right until it shows the parameters of selection to 1680 x 1050, and then click apply.
3.
When you are prompted to apply the settings, click OK. Your screen becomes black for a moment.
4.
Once your screen resolution changes, you have 15 seconds to confirm the change. Click Yes to confirm the change. Click No or do nothing to return to your previous configuration.
Now - if you do not have the choice of 1680 x 1050, it is a new monitor and you have the latest driver for your video - card, then probably your video card was not made to support screen widescreen resolutions.

I just had a new hard drive installed with XP, and no matter what I set the resolution to, everything now looks stretched horizontally. I don't have this problem with the old hard drive containing XP
If you did a clean installation of XP, then you must install the hardware drivers for your components. Go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC, then download and install the latest Windows XP drivers for your model.

My recovery disk is full display to 80%. How can I remove items from this drive?
The recovery partition is designed to be almost complete. HP configures it to use a minimum of disk space hard, just large enough to contain the files needed to perform a recovery of the system with little space left over.
