My Widescreen Monitor Now Thinks It's Square(ish)
The other day (right after Momdigr got off Facebook) I turned on my monitor, and everything was off center, moved to the right about a inch and a half. The little 'x' in the top right corner, my time and date were all off the screen. She said "Everything was fine when I turned it off." I asked her if it looked ok now, and she said yes, so, go figure.
All the listed available resolutions (that work) are for the older square-ish design monitors, 800 x 600, 1280 x 1024, etc. I had been running it at it's native (recommended) resolution of 1440 x 900. If I go to 1400 x 1050, everything goes normal except for a band about 2 inches wide on the right of colored static (pink noise?) and static-y color bars on the left about a half inch wide. Anything bigger than 1400, and it goes black with a tiny box in the center that says "Out of Range" for about ten seconds and then the picture comes back. Any ideas? RFN I'm at 1280 x 1024, stretched to fill the screen. Everybody in my pictures is all pumpkin-headed, DO NOT LIKE. HP Pavilion (Slim) Win7 (64-bit) Pentium 2.6 (dual core) 4gb RAM (that's all I know) I tried to update the monitor driver, but, of course, it said no more-up-to-date driver was found. I've never found a driver using the 'update driver' feature, ever. In like fifteen years. ETA: AVG and Windows Update did nothing for me. No love at all.
