Desktop all messed up

This AM when I powered up, my display seems all screwed up. My
desktop icons are shifted left and the leftmost icons will not
display. Even my selected windows are shifted too. I can't select
anything in the left side of any window. Even this message loses a
few inches off the left of this display if I expand this window to
full. What did I do? Hell I can't even select the desktop shutdown.

Use SnippingTool. Either take a picture of the
entire desktop, or of the individual windows.

Do the snipping tool pictures look normal ?
If so, it could be a monitor issue.

The monitor has an OSD (on-screen display). The
buttons on the monitor, include positioning buttons
for adjusting the X and Y offset. Some monitors
will also "memorize" multiple settings, and offer
you quick restoral of a particular 1440x900 display
setup you may have customized.

I'm having trouble visualizing what you're seeing.
It could be the monitor offsets that are screwed up,
in which case the Snipping Tool pictures will look
"perfect".

Thanks Paul

It looks like it was the monitor. One monitor button seemed to fix.
Dumb me.
