We finally got our new computer but I have a problem. The computer came with a widescreen monitor and everything on the internet (pictures etc.) Is short, wide and kind of grainy. Is it possible to set the internet so that it shows it "normal"? I tried playing with screen resolution and got the internet looking okay but then all the computer programs were finny looking. HELP!!!!

Ok, couple things to check.
do a windows update and make sure there are no new monitor drivers that you need to install. crazy as it may sound, updates could have happened while the system was sitting in a warehouse or even in transportation to fix this.
If there aren't any driver updates....then you need to set your resolution. What size screen do you have?
a 20" screen would need to be set at 1280 x 1024
Hope this helps.

Hi -
If you can tell me the brand of monitor (and size) and what video card you're using I may be able to help with a specific answer for you.
