Hi Realmpoet,

You may have your screen resolution set to a improper setting that is
causing the distorted streched display. Try a resolution that is native
for the size of your monitor to see if that helps.

Hope this helps,

Sorry, you also need to hold down the ctrl key while you scroll the mouse to
change the size of the desktop icons.

Reset your desktop resolution by right-clicking the desktop, select
Personalize, and the Screen Res option. Or use your monitor auto-detect
button which may resize the screen and will be fixed.
