My screen has shrunk! It does not fill the the size of the moniter, I have
tried resizing using the OSD controls but the make no differnce. the screen
looks squased in at the sides. I have also tried changing the screen
resolution (currently set at 1024 by 768) but does not fix problem.
Please can someone help???
Most likely this is a monitor problem. It sounds like the lighted area
does not fill the monitor screen. That area is called the "raster",
and it's size and shape should be controllable by adjustments on the
monitor. I assume that's what you mean by "OSD controls". On Screen
Display? Most monitors nowadays have a series of menus and everything
is controlled digitally, but the size, position, and shape of the
raster should be in there someplace. If you can't make things right
with those controls, then pretty surely something has died in your
monitor. AFAIK, repair of computer monitors is rare. You probably need
a new one.
The test would be hooking up a different monitor. If it displays
normally, then yours is faulty. If the test monitor displays the same
way yours does, then the problem is elsewhere. IMHO, it's pretty
surely the monitor. (Especially because of the squashed-in sides.)
