screen text - seems to be stretched horizontally

• Screen, visually seems to be stretched - icons, images, Visual, much larger and broader - please help!

  Several weeks ago, my husband was working on our computer, and he touched anything to do with the button of start by accident.  Our screen and all the elements of it are abnormally - high they now seem to be stretched longer before.  It almost looks like a way things have air when you are in 'safe mode' but there is nothing anywhere on the screen that says "safe mode".  We have closed to the down/restarted/attempted to change the settings in the Panel, but nothing has worked to return to the normal display.  Any help on how to solve this problem would be much appreciated!

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  See you soon.

• I just had a new hard drive installed (with XP), and no matter where I set the resolution, everything seems to be stretched horizontally

  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.

• 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.

  Hello

  Horizontal control of your screen is turned off or you are using a screen on a standard monitor resolution.

  Using the controls of the monitor on the screen itself, try to reduce the horizontal display, so that it fits on the screen.

  If it's not her, then go to the settings/display/personalization in the control panel and adjust the slider to resolution one that best fits your screen.

• 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.

• When I closed my Windows Vista computer, it reached the "Logging Off" screen and seems stuck.

  Sporadically, when I turned off my computer, it reached the "Logging Off" screen and seems stuck.  I walked away from my computer for a returned more than an hour to find the screen always showing "Logging Off" with the small circle in the middle of spinning.  The only way I can close down is to do it manually and then when I use the computer at a later date, I ger the message that my computer has been shut down improperly and I should log in safe mode.  This happened only since I upgraded to Windows Vista.  My computer is a Toshiba laptop Satellite P105-S6147.
