I'm running win2k with latest updates on a 1920*1200 monitor. Everything worked
fine until I restarted yesterday.
The desktop picture appears on the left 1/5 of the screen. The only thing is that
someone other than I shutdown the computer the other day, but there were no unusual
restart messages, so I'm assuming that they shut it down correctly.
I've never had problems displaying the desktop picture before. The desktop picture
was being stretched as it was smaller than the screen and is one of my own pictures
that I used the browse button to find.
Stretching shows it on the left 1/5th as does tiling it. If I center it, the picture
doesn't display at all and the background is all white (as is the right 4/5ths of
the screen when stretching).
There is no problem using the entire screen with applications such as firefox at
this moment. FWIW, when I restarted the trash icon was in the left 1/5th of the
screen when I usually have it in the lower right. I was able to move it back to
it's usual location.
When I try to use one of the built-in background patterns, it still only displays
on the left side of the screen. Everything appears to be fine except for the 1/5th
thing.
Ideas?
