screen seemed to have got wider but shorter

[Blondeshavemorefun]

on lappy and all pages have seemed to have stretched and now are wider but longer, so i need to scroll down to click reply on mn for example

my screen saver of dh and i,now looks like we are short and fat - as if piccy is wrong way round

any idea why - knowing me i have pressed a button

thank you :)

My instincts say its screen resolution. For some reason you have the wrong one.

What version of Windows are you using?

If windows XP, pick an empty area of the desktop, right click and choose properties. Then click the display tab and twiddle with the resolution. Try setting to max and seeing if it works.

If its Windows 7 then right click an empty area of the desktop and choose Screen Resolution. Again play with the Resolution settings.

Xp I think - def vista

I'm out tonight but will try that tomorrow - thanks

Just don't understand why gone like that - how easy it is to make it do that - ie just press a button on keyboard?

thanks, think ive managed it, i dont look quite so squidged anymore

Some programs will change the screen resolution in order to display properly. If they are properly written and everything goes right, they ought to change it back when they close, but it doesn't always happen - the programs from Sherston that we run at school often do this.
Also our Toshiba models automatically change to a lesser resolution when they are connected to a smart board.
