Hi All.

I have a 17" widescreen Dell Inspiron laptop. I left my computer on all night, and it went into hibernate / sleep mode, I think. When I turned it on today, the display looks stretched.. and I cant figure out why it did this. I tried system restore, and it loaded normally until I clicked "ok" when restore completed.. then it reverted the display back to stretched.

The desktop and the internet looks stretched... any ideas how to fix this?
