    Ok, I like my acer, but I used my dual moniter to project to teach a class the other night, and now, even though I went back and pressed "Notebook LCD only", Its still strected out like it was when I switched for the dual moniter.

    Is there something I got to do to get it to go back?

    Yes, you have to choose "Clone" monitors in order to prevent the notebook from thinking the external monitor is an extension of the default LCD screen.

    Restarting the computer usually helps...and changing outputs on my Acer is Fn + F5. Hope that helps.

    I've restarted a few times (well, of and on, from school to home, and last night etc.)

    and using that still does not change it back, its still strechted out.

    EDIT: Whats Acer's default resolution? (Mine might need to be changed back)
