    It's probably because you resolution in not the same aspect ratio as the picture and it's being squashed up for some reason.

    This solved my problem - I have no idea how I would have known to try ctrl-scrollWheel, or how MS expects us to discover this stuff - you are awesome! Thanks bunches,
