I did that, it made it not “stretchy”, but doesn’t look “normal”.
Try all of the settings available in the pulldown menu and see which one works to get it back the way you had it.

Don’t use so much starch!....
There are probably several different modes and options available to you in Control Panel > Display. You may have to tweak a bit to find one that looks right.
Once you find one that was ‘close’ to the way you had it before, most widescreen LCD monitors have an ‘Auto Config’ type option, that will auto-adjust and format the display on the monitor to the most optimal settings for that resolution, so you will want to run this option as well.
Increasing the resolution corrects aspect ratio distortion in widescreen LCD monitors, but it also shrinks icons and text. Is this what you mean about not looking “normal?” You can elect to make the icons and text larger, or you can step down in resolution incrementally, until it looks “right” but not distorted.
