screen goes off monitor

Guest

I have a computer that is running Windows XP home edition SP2. Just recently
the screen started to go off of the monitor. What I mean by this is that the
left side of the screen is flush where it should be; start button and
everything where it should be . But when you go to the right side of the
screen where it should stop it just keeps on going. The system tray on the
task bar is where it should be but everything above that just keeps going.
The annoying thing about this is that unfortunately all of the new windows of
anything seems to open off of the screen and not on the screen where we'd
obviously like it to.

I'm not exactly sure why this is going on but if anybody has any suggestions
thank you in advance!

Change your screen resolution to a smaller value; one that will fit on
your monitor.

I've tried all of the screen resolutions from 800x600 and 1280x1024 and none
of them work; they all have the same problem.

Post information on your video hardware and drivers and any changes you
made to your system when this problem started.
