All of a sudden my desktop wallpaper doesn't cover my entire computer
screen. I have tried different wallpapers and still get the same thing. No
settings have been changed.
When the computer is starting up, and before my icons appear, I get a full
screen. As soon as the icons have loaded, I have about 2" inches of just
white space on the right side. When I leave the desktop and later go back to
it, the whole right side of desktop screen is white. If I place my mouse
cursor on the edge of this white spot, I can drag the chosen wallpaper back
over to the right, but it will still go only as far as 2 inches from the
right edge of the screen. When I try to adjust the monitor screen options,
the wallpaper will move to the right, but when I have it completely over to
the right side of the screen, I then have the left side of the screen with a
solid dark area. This is crazy, because I haven't made any changes to any
settings. Any ideas?
