    Ok I need help. Ever Since I had my computer (Christmas) my display was normal. Even though the screen is wide, it didn't stretch out images or anything, it stayed in a normal width.
    Then I was uninstalling some programs that had messed my computer up, and while it was trying to do that, it somehow messed up my settings. So now, everything stretches out like it's in a widescreen mode or something. And I have yet to figure out how to change it back.

    It bugs me to death because I work with pictures all the time, and they appear majorly stretched.

    Any idea where I can go and fix this?

    Right click on the Vista desktop, and select "personalize" from the menu. Click "Display settings" from the next menu, and select 1280x800 for your screen resolution. That should get things back to normal.
