hey
i have a Samsung SyncMaster 931BW which i got in replace of an old monitor that wasn't working.
This new screen strecthes everyting. You can easily see the difference between this and a normal screen. Websites are stretched. Is there a way that items can be normal size and shape, yet use the whole screen.
thanks

It's a widescreen monitor, and you haven't changed your resolution.

Right click on the desktop, and go 'settings' for XP, 'personalise' for Vista, and change the display resolution to 1440x900.

Yeah, probably running a very outdated graphics adapter.
