Hello, I discovered this today and I have no idea how it happened because it's never been like this before.
Enclosed are 2 screenshots. One screenshot is me trying to click and drag from the top left corner of my desktop to the bottom left corner of the desktop. As you can see, I am only able to go as far as the black space seen in the screenshot. The second screenshot is a screenshot of my desktop icons within the extra 700 or so pixels of the width of my desktop. On my desktop, I am unable to see past the 768th pixel(width), only when I do a print screen of my desktop can I see past the 768th pixel. In the screenshot, I am unable to place my cursor in the black space. I am, however, able to place my cursor past the 768th pixel not entering the black space. These screenshots are not altered in any way except for the white text and arrow. Can anyone help me as to why this has happened to my desktop? Or how I can fix it? Thanks

Here are the screenshots

this probably have to do with the resolution of the PC. Or maybe u have changed to a resolution which is not supported by the monitor selected.

Right click on the desktop and select properties, settings tab, Advance, Monitor, and then try selection a monitor which works with your display card. Also try a different frequency for your monitor. and find one that is optimal for your monitor

When you open a program, where does it show up?

What is that picture of the eye on the systray?

Do you have any "virtual desktop" software?

Hit the reset button on your display monitor....
