wonky screen help

strawberryberry

kids have been pressing buttons at the front of computer and the screen has gone all wonky.
To be honest ive just been here pressing them for ages to try to fix it and have made it worse:eek: there is now a big bulge on the left hand side aswell .
How can i get my normal screen again on vista

Thank you for any help

Were they pressing buttons on the computer monitor? If so they have probably changed the display settings of the monitor itself. Unfortunately the menus on each different make/model of monitor are different, but if you hit the Menu button, you should find a "Restore factory defaults" option.

Yes you are quire right the buttons on the monitor ( whilst im cooking !) Have had a look at screen on this page(cant see menu ) and on if i minimise and get start up screen cant see menu on that either. Ive got vista does that make a difference ? Thanks for taking time out to help :beer:

It's nothing to do with Vista, they have changed the display geometry with the buttons on the monitor.

have had a good read of the site you recommended got as far as the picushion bit but it doesnt tell me what the buttons on the front do which is how i made it worse myself.
How do i just go back to factory settings that would be the easiest and hopefully the quickest !

Surely the icons on the OSD give a clue as to what needs adjusting to correct the display?

The monitor's manual or, as kevin0410 has said, the On-Screen Display should give you the necessary information.

If you don't have the manual, try googling for one for that make & model.

Is there a Button on the monitor labelled "Auto" - if so press that and see if it defaults -- Dave
