I left my computer, like always and went to watch tv. I didnt have any
programs on or anything and when i come back my screen is bigger, left to
right. Or mostly the left side. The left side is stretched and isntead of
seeing my computer. You only see "omputer". Its alwaybs been 800x600 and i
didnt do any change.

Possible the refresh rate was changed if it is a CRT. You can readjust
screen size with the buttons at the bottom of the monitor. Or change
refresh rate in Display properties, Advanced, Monitor.
