Help!!!!I Need Some Computer Advise.
3/11/09 | me

Posted on 03/11/2009 7:58:57 AM PDT by NoGrayZone

Here's the problem. I defragmented, as usual, and restarted my computer. For some reason, my widescreen monitor went back to it's original "stretched" form.

I cannot remember how I fixed this problem when I first installed the monitor, just remember it was an SOB to fix and a fluke that I got it right.

Please, any advise or fix would be greatly appreciated.

"Would you also like some spelling advice?"

No, but I would like to offer shoving your snark up your arse.

They can also right click on any open area of their desktop screen, click on Properties, then go to the Settings tab.

Ah, thank you. I just hit my auto config after changing my config, as previously suggested. Doesn't look like it did before, but it does seem a bit crisper.

Thanks!

Right click on "Desk Top"

Click "properties"

Click "settings"

Adjust the number of pixels.

Thank you fellow FReepers, even you snarky. I took your advise and my monitor is no longer stretchy!!!

As for Mr. Snark, you were correct, but you didn’t have to be such a jerk about it.

Thanks!!!

If you don’t want to be criticized, don’t screw up. Think of FR as like a classroom.

Have you tried the obvious “turn it on and off.”

You’d be amazed at how often this works.

"If you don’t want to be criticized, don’t screw up."

Okay. From here on, when I post on FR, I will leave my "human" self behind and become One who does not err.

Feel better?

Did you ever come to the right place. You should have advise flowing your way soon. Wish I could advise but anything I advise may only confuse the issue more. Good luck.

My my. Seems like my fellow FReepers have become much more nasty now that we can't criticize barry anymore.

What a shame.

Nah. I like criticizing barry better. There's so much fodder to chose from. The guy can't do anything right. A presidential recall would be excellent!

Well, thank you for not only NOT pointing out my spelling error, but for your advice.

I've seen quite a few threads where FReepers were just jumping on someone for making an error.
