I have a Dell laptop COMPUTER running windows xp. EVERYTHING was fine until I stupidly installed a very large computer game file. I uninstalled the game, DEFRAGMENTED the disk and did all the clean up I could think of. My computer is fine except for one annoying problem... all the images are warped. Text is fine but all the photographs are stretched horizontally maybe five percent. They print fine, but it makes it very annoying to try to work with photographs on the computer since i can't see what they really look LIKE. Please help me fix this!is your desktop stretched too??

have you tried restoring it to before you installed the game?

what was the game?

did you buy the game? or illegally dl it?The desktop is not stretched. The only thing affected seems to be jpeg images-photographs. Not just the images in my photo album but also jpeg images on web pages. Any images om web pages that are part of files like advertisements that use flash ect. aren't affected. The game was not illegal. it was the sims 2 and from a disk my roommate owns. It was just to big for my laptop and the computer froze up and RESTARTED in safe mode. then I uninstalled it. I can't restore my computer because I tried to clean up the disk and I think i accidentally deleted my restore points along with the temporary files in the clean up process. I think the game may have reset some computer function related to viewing images I'm just not sure what it is....right click on the desktop go to properties settings and mess with the resolution.

about the restore points go to start all programs accessories system tools system restore and click restore to an earlier date and see if you have a point to restore toThank You So Much!! It was the resolution. I changed it and everything's fine! I never could have figured it out! You're the best!your very welcome I'm glad I could help
