desktop screen out of proportion, horizontally

Window's Vista.........for some reason I'm having a problem with my desktop looking a little
stretched. The desktop screen out of proportion, horizontally, actually everything pictures, Brower
etc. I have tried Personalization-Display Settings, it is on 1280by 1024 pixels, Colors: Highest (32bits)
DPI Scaling-Default scale (96 DPI), I have mess with the Monitors settings and it does not portion
the desktop screen, all it will do is try and center up or down. How do I correct this situation?

This may require warranty replacement of some display or system. I'm not going to doubt you here but if it is as you wrote then you call up the machine's maker and begin the process.
