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!

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the above does not fix it:

Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

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.

  • Windows Photo Viewer shows the files blank JPEG thumbnails (inside folders) poster white icon, already tried a lot of Solutions - please help! S.O.S.

    Dear all,

    I have this problem:

    All JPEG files are normal, I tried to open with the help of Adobe Photoshop CS5. But if I use it to watch my files, it takes too long to load.

    This is the case if I try to open them using the Windows Photo Viewer:

    It's when I try to open it with Adobe Photoshop CS5:

    So the file is fine, they are non-empty JPEG.

    The difficulties I've tried before posting on the forum:

    - Fix it with Microsoft to photo viewer

    Dear Ramesh,

    I thank very you much for your time to help me, after tumbling around with other solutions, windows finished in "the RPC server is blahblah" thing a bit, then I reinstalled everything from the ground up and the problem disappeared... I don't know what happened to the previous window, I am now using the same drivers, same software, except perhaps the earlier had too many junks (I think this is the classic problem with windows, after sometimes he collected too and begins to act dumb)

    It seems that the problem came, neither windows nor the drivers... But too bad it should remain as an "Unsolved Mystery": P

    Anyway thanks, see again you and Merry Christmas and happy new year to you

    Hi Nancy,.

    Encryption of files and folders is a way to protect against unauthorized access. EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) is a Windows feature that you can use to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is the best protection that Windows provides to help you keep your information secure.

    You can make a folder and then encrypt it.

  • MOVE VM IMAGES FROM HDD to SAN ESXI - Please HELP!

    Hello

    I don't know if this is possible, but if possible I'd really be very happy for any help that anyone can provide. I have an ESXi server where there was a picture of Microsoft Exchange VM on. Currently, the image is too large to stay on the ESXi server and we bought a SAN. I can not figure out how to move this image from the disk HARD original to the SAN. The SAN is saved in the ESXi and he sees it as an additional HARD disk space. How can I move the image to that storage?

    Thank you!!!

    James

    You may download a trial version of VC - it will work for the days 30 (or 60).

    The other option is to use the browser of data store and copy all the files (of your vm directory) to the new directory created on your new san vmfs volume.

    VMware Converter could do it too.

    Is that what you have already created a new vmfs volume on your San?

  • When I upload an image on mix of adobe photoshop, the image is pixelated... Please help someone!

    When I post a picture on mix of adobe photoshop, the image appears pixelated... very low res. help someone!

    Hi Fredo!

    Mix/Fix can open images at full resolution instead of images of downsizing to 2048px when opening an image compared to the Creative clouds > Lightroom. Please update your application and let me know if you are facing this problem of pixelation always. Also, remember that if you use images downloaded from the internet or other places, they are smaller and so pixelated.

  • First Pro CC (2014) crashes if I try to find some images/scrub/create an empty sequence, please help

    Hello, this is my first time asking for help here, I have been going around forums and web in general for hours, and can't find a solution to this. I really hope someone can help me with this.

    Whenever I have try and open a project Pr CC 2014 on my Mac Pro I get the "sorry, a serious error has occurred which requires Adobe Premiere Pro to stop. We will try and save your current project. »

    People usually ask for as many details as possible, so this effect: This is a project that I started on my MacBook Pro retina so when opening on my desk he invites me to locate images. Once I find the first file, as soon as my mouse passes on the clip (to the point that rub should be evoked) I get the warning and it stops. I tried to open a new blank project, which doesn't close, until I go to import images and even once, it crashes only when the mouse is moving the clamp to rub. I tried to find the images in the finder to evade the media browser, and this allowed me to select the clip, but crashes once I tried to import it. I thought that maybe the film has been altered, so I tried other clips with the same result. Also, it crashes if I try just to create a new sequence, with images at all in the project.

    All my other Adobe apps (SOUL, Pl, Ae, Br, Ai, Ps, Lr, Id, Mu) are working properly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Pr and SOUL twice now. I followed the advice of others and renamed/reset/deleted preferences, plugins in the library and the adobe folder in users/user_name/Documents. I have ensured that I have read/write access in all folders. I am running Yosemite on my desktop, but is so my laptop and Pr runs perfectly on that. I never had this problem with Pr CC before 2014, so I hope that this is not a hardware issue.

    I also tried turning off and on again!

    I reached the end of my tether and considers indeed defeated by this problem. I really hope someone out there can understand what is happening on Earth!
