Hi my PC is running windows 7 home premium with a nvidia gtx470 video card and a 22 inch acer monitor (if anymore info is required i will GLADLY supply if it helps with the problem but have just listed these as it is a screen resolution problem) recently my goddaughter was watching cartoons on youtube and she pressed something not sure what as she's only 3 and just kept pointing at things when i asked her what she'd pressed.Being a 22 inch screen windows suggests resolution of 1680x1050 but when i set this it shifts the screen about 2 inches too the left i am unable to move it using the monitors osd as its as if the right hand edge of the monitor has physically moved 2 inches too the right aswell (hope that makes sense).I have uninstalled my graphics card reinstalled drivers etc tried a different vga lead and dvi adaptor but no luck so i set my resolution to 1600x1200 and that worked fine after the screen auto configured apart from when i first turn it on it is still in 1680x1050 resolution so all the boot data and other info including the windows 7 logo is shifted 2 inches to the left until it boots up and then the monitor auto configs to the 1600x1200 settings and its fine.

Hope i haven't waffled on too much and hope someone can help cause I'm stumped if you need anything clearing up that i haven't made much sense about please ask and thanks in advance for your suggestions/helpYou need to read the manual.
The monitor will auto config if you let it.
You may have to tun the monitor off and on to re-start the auto-coning. Or else go into the monitor settings. I don't mean Windows 7 settings. The monitors own hardware things.By monitors hardware settings do you mean the menu and ARROW buttons on the monitor itself if so have already tried that and made no difference tonight i tried uninstalling the monitor along with its driver so now its just a generic plug and play monitor still will not let me set my resolution to 1680x1050 without the screen shifting have also read the manual and gives no guidance at all Quote

when i first turn it on it is still in 1680x1050 resolution so all the boot data and other info including the windows 7 logo is shifted 2 inches to the left until it boots up and then the monitor auto configs to the 1600x1200 settings and its fine.
