Can't fix stretched screen after playing game. HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook.

Hello,
after playing a game my screen remained stretched, horizontally stretched out. Normally my screen went back to normal after closing the game(Rollercoaster Tycoon 3), but this time it somehow got stuck or something. I checked the resolution: it's 1024x768 like it always was, so that's not the problem. When I "print screen", the image is just normal on other computers, so I think it may be the driver? Do I have to download NVIDIA Driver? I tried that, but it says the driver is not compatible with my hardware. I think I can find one that is compatible, but I'd like to know first if this will solve my problem.
Thanks,
DD

    I grasp that you are having an issue with the display but if you adjust the position of the display it disappears.
    Here is a link to Display Quality Issues that may help.
    As you stated it goes away when you reposition the display the connection cable may have become  loose or damaged from opening and closing the display.
    Here is a link to the  HP Pavilion 14 Notebook PC, HP Pavilion 14 Touchsmart Notebook PC, HP Pavilion 14 Touchsmart Ultrabo.... Chapter 4 page 36 has removal instructions that may assist you in checking for that problem.

  • I don't seem to have View anymore. I can't fix my screen. Why is Mozilla deciding that I should ignore threads. I don't want to ignore threads. I can't fix this

    I am really distressed that Mozilla apparently unilaterally decided I should not see all my threads. I DO want to see all my threads. In fact, one reason I don't get my mail from a website is that I don't like my messages grouped according to threads.
    The instructions given in the Ignoring Threads article do not seem to match my computer. Here are the instructions: "To ignore a thread you select Message | Ignore Thread, or simply use the K (for "kill") keyboard shortcut." I don't see "View" or "Message" or "Ignore Thread." How can I fix this?
    (And please, Mozilla, stop making decisions for me. )

    View is in two places.
    First on the menu bar where it always has been. The menu bar is hidden in the newer versions of Thunderbird. Pressing the alt key or F10 reveals hidden toolbars.
    There is a new AppMenu button located in the upper right of the screen. It is a square area with 3 horizontal lines. View is located here also.
    Thunderbird is software that runs on your computer. It is configured by you.
