pavilion dv7 1279wm screen stretched out!

So yesterday, when i was editing video for a presention, my screen flickered a few times, then when the screen stopped, it was all stretched out. I can't fix it in the display settings.. it still stays stretched :smileysad:

 

my video card is nvidia geforce 9600mGT.

 

any help is greatly appreciated!!

You need to set your resolution back to the native resolution which is 1440 x 900.  Reinstall your video drivers from this link...then update your BIOS from this link.

Is your resolution set to 1440x990 or something lower?
