To anyone who can help me,
I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite laptop equipped with Intel graphics.
Until recently, whenever I opened a program designed to run on a standard 4x3 monitor, it would automatically letterbox on my 16x9 monitor, adding black bars on either side of the screen. Whenever I exited the program, the aspect ratio would re-adjust and revert back to widescreen when it exited to my desktop.
A few days ago, my son was demonstrating some of the features of the function keys on the machine, and zoomed in as an experiment. After exiting the zoom feature, the aspect ratios of my programs no longer readjust. Now they stretch out horizontally to fill the widescreen monitor.
I have gone in to the intel graphics properties menu, and learned the hotkeys to manually adjust the display (stretch full screen, centre image, maintain aspect ratio) whenever I am in a program, but when I exit, the display does not revert back to widescreen as it used to, so I have to manually reset the resolution settings.
As my laptop used to automatically adjust these features, I wish to know the necessary steps to reset things the way they used to be. I've figured out the manual way, but am not sure what else to do.
Any assistance would be most appreciated!
