everything on screen stretched horizontally

My child did something to change the appearance of everything on my screen -
in IE, excel, etc. All of the text is bolder and blurrier. And everything
(text, images) is stretched horizontally. I've checked my general settings.
Resolution is fine, text size is how I usually have it. Any ideas? Thanks!

I once saw something a like. it had to do with the dpi settings. These can be
found in advanced on the resolution tab. On the general tab there is a boc
for dpi settings normally this is 96 dpi (this could be something else for
you but from wath you described it sounds like the dpi settings are too high

Try a SYSTEM RESTORE to the date just before the child caused it. I have
child problems often and this works 99 out of 100 times.

I don't think that's it. I'm at 96dpi. Thank you.
