Another computer question.
Every time this happens,i can never remember what i did to fix it .After a lighting storm or i use Search and Destroy all of the pages get wider including the Desktop.My resolutions are set at 32 Bit and 1280 by 1024 pixels.Desktop is set at Stretch.The above settings have always been set this way.I don't know what causes this to happen.It is very frustrating.

Right click on your desktop and click properties. Then click settings and reset to 1024X768.

well if everything on the computer side seems fine than the monitor has changed. unplug the monitor and then plug it in after like 5 seconds if that does the trick than your good to go. If it doesn't work than the problem is still on the computer side.
