Stretched Screen! HELP! Hey. I have a windows 7 ultimate OS. I just turned on my computer and the entire screen is stretched out! I tried to search on google and stuff but nothing helped. So, I went to Device Manager and under the display adapters it says Intel(R) G33/G31 Express chipset family. I'm guessing thats the video card or something (Sorry I'm not much of a tech girl) Anyways, it's disabled and i was wondering if it would help if i enabled it. If not then what should I do?! Help? | My System Specs |

Welcome to the forum,
That screenshot you posted doesn't look streched to me, here's the same wall on mine.
Also you can see if step 7 in this tutorial Desktop Background - Change helps.

Is your problem just on your desktop or on every screen you go to? Check your recommended screen resolution; rick click on open desktop, click screen resolution, under resolution make sure it's set to the recommended setting for that monitor. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit CPU AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4 Memory GSkill 4 X 2 GB PC 8500 Graphics Card XFX Radeon HD 6790 D Sound Card On board RealTek HD Monitor(s) Displays Dual monitors:Samsung SyncMaster S20B300 Screen Resolution 1600 X 900 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Razor DeathAdder PSU Ultra X4 750 watt fully modular Case Thermaltake Overseer RX 1 full tower Cooling Core-Contact 92 mm CPU Cooler Hard Drives Seagate Barracuda 1TB (primary)

Well, i guess it doesn't look stretched in the screenshot but it really is. It was different before. I have an Acer 20" LCD moniter, if that answers your question. | My System Specs | | |

I have no idea. There was a virus in the computer and I sent it to the shop to get it fixed. When it came back the screen was stretched and the graphics card was disabled. | My System Specs | | Stretched Screen! HELP! problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:22 PM. | |
