I hope someone can help me.

Entire screen has shifted right such that I cannot now access anything on the right side of the margin. For instance, I can't even post this message using the computer I'm having to do it from my smartphone. I have not found anything online that helps either I can't even stretch it to the left like you normally can. If anybody has a clue I sure would appreciate it thank you so much!

1. See if your monitor has an autoset button.

You may have to hold it in for a few seconds.

3. Without knowing what your screen or computer are,

Try right-clicking a blank part of the desktop, select Graphics Properties and see if you have any advanced options, such as arrows to reposition the desktop.

Alternately, in Control Panel there may be a setting for your graphics driver.

4. Found this on Google

How do I center a window on my screen?

This is not exactly for centering, but lets you move the window left and right (and up and down) easily.

Focus a window.
Press Alt + Space .
Press M (for “Move”).
Use the arrow keys to move the window exactly where you want it.
Press Enter when done.

5. That works for program windows

But not for the desktop itself. It's using keyboard shortcuts to replace mouse clicks within the little 'Restore, Move..etc' icon at the top left of the window title bar.

6. Your monitor may have some buttons on the back that can adjust positioning of the display.

Play with those a little bit--you might find an adjustment that moves it to the left as needed.

On my Samsung, they're along the bottom. The first button brings up the built-in adjustment program, second one moves me among the adjustment options, third one changes the setting. You can't do much wrong that you can't fix. Hope this helps!

7. You guys are great!

I never imagined such a quick response so I didn't even bother checking back til this AM.

LeftofCenter nailed it. I should have mentioned this was a laptop. I always called screens, whatever they are attached to, monitors for some reason.

Alt space plus M did it after a couple of tries.

Weird thing is: this right shift of viewing plane happened as I dragged my hand across the keyboard unintentionally. I couldn't duplicate that move again for a million dollars.

Again, thank you my DU brother and sisterhood! Democracy rocks!
