i tried sending this once, but it seemed like it i got an error msg and im
not sure it went through, so im sending again...sorry if its a repeat...

my wife bought a compaq impresario pc a few weeks ago (intel pentium dual
core desktop processor e2160; windows vista home premium with/avec service
pack 1.) my 3 yr old was goofing around on it, pushing buttons on the
keyboard and such, and now the screen has "shifted" about an inch and a half
to the left - even the wallpaper. so now whenever we use it there is text on
the left margin that cannot be seen - very frustrating. can anyone help with
suggestions? i tried to google some tech support but it was pretty expensive
for what im hoping is a simple issue. thanks

Hi DL,

Can you not adjust your screen with the Monitor?
If not and if it hadn't been that long ago and nothing new like Updates have
been installed then I'd try a System Restore and select a time just before
this happen.

thank you! after fooling around with the monitor buttons again (i had tried
it b4 unsuccessfully) i found the setting that reset the monitor to its
original factory settings. saved me 50-100 bucks from tech support! these
forums are a great tool.
