hello youtube this is PSP some accent
before I start this video I would just
like to personally thank you for all my
viewers and subscribers to my PSP slim
hacks channel it's been great and sorry
I haven't posted in a while because I've
been working school and other
responsibilities I need to take care of
but yeah don't worry I'm still alive I'm
still making videos computer related
tutorial videos so yeah and today's
video is going to be about how to fix us
stretch squished out of a resolution
screen what I mean by stretching and um
squish is that right here is squish and
then like stretched out I'm just using
simple terms for those people that don't
know how to describe it when they're
putting it in the search bar on YouTube
to our figure out their answer in
reality for an IT guy is going to be all
how to fix your resolution but I'm just
using the simple ways that way our
people will find this video easier and
remember this channel is how to learn
basic skills on how to fix your computer
the most simplest ways for the first
time like without experience so yeah
that's my goal always might go for all
my videos anyways I put my wallpaper
black that way you'll notice all how
stretched the screen is like the bar
taskbar is just like completely stretch
and squish from the sides you get the
idea
so yeah and um if you notice I have
triple monitors but it has nothing to do
with that I disable both of the monitors
on my side that way I'll just I'll focus
on one monitor because I'm assuming a
handful of you people will have only one
monitor anyways um the reason why you
you'll get a stretch screen is either
because the drivers are not correct or
you don't have the installed drivers for
your video card or your resolution is
not set up so let's do the most simplest
test ever by having your resolution set
up so we'll go to all we'll right-click
the desktop and we go to screen
resolution usually four screens is
either on or the computer will tell you
or when it's s recommended so my screen
resolution
so 1440 4 x 900 so when I click apply so
the screen is going to flicker now the
resolution is actually correct so
nothing is stretched out everything it
should be how it's supposed to be so you
just want to keep these changes usually
for laptops is going to be um it's gonna
is going to tell you what the computer
says um what it recommends usually
lattice is going to be uh a thousand
three hundred sixty-six times sixty
eight so my computer will read it it
will be fine but I'll have some black
black lines on the on top and bottom
because my my screen is not that wide
like if it was a laptop so I'll go with
the recommended settings and yeah so
that's basically it but there's people
that all when they when they right-click
their desktop and go to screen
resolution the computer is going to be
recommending them to you so some weird
resolution which is 800 x 600 some other
resolution that does not fit the screen
and that's because um oops I don't even
know why I did that
I honestly don't know but let's say like
okay they're at 800 x 600 and that's
what the computers recommended but you
do know that your screen resolution is
not that because it still looks kind of
weird so that's a problem with the video
card drivers so what we're gonna do is
we're gonna go to start we're going to
go to all programs we're going to go to
a Windows Update and you want to click
checked up check updates if you if you
don't have if you have never checked for
any updates and what we're going to be
doing is that we're going to be out
searching for updates for our video card
most computers they usually have a
Nvidia graphics card like the like the
little chipset mines I have a custom
computer so it's gonna be a little bit
different so for the people that are
using custom I don't think they'll have
a problem with resolution settings but
for the people to have a custom computer
use obviously you want to take the the
driver CD that came with your graphics
card just playing your this tray and
just how just install your drivers and
from there your
your computer should restart and then it
should automatically fix your problems
with the resolution but these are for
the people that don't have a custom
graphics card comes custom computer and
then they have a normal chipset or
graphics card so yeah right I'm just
gonna let this wait and oh never mind
oh it's gonna get your computer is going
to tell you or what this or you want to
install you just want to go 250 optional
updates and right here this is mine and
this is probably gonna be a lot of yours
when you get something with Nvidia or
radium or with ATI graphics adapter
anything that has sets to do video
graphics that's a sign that is usually
on your your graphics card so you just
want to click this one or whatever you
have and I suggest you to install the
most important updates as well for your
computer but but for the purpose of this
video I'm just going to be installing
the updates for I'm not going to be
installing the updates but I'm just
showing you what you will have to do so
again you're going to be looking for you
want to go to optional which is
obviously going to fall into or
sometimes so fun to the important but it
as long as you find em video we're Dion
ATI and then it has graphics video
adapter that's usually the graphics are
drivers so once you click OK which I'm
not gonna do because I already have them
install them in computer uh once once so
it starts downloading its gonna install
and you're going to see your screen
flicker a little bit like it's going to
turn on and off and then the computer is
gonna ask you to restart it so once you
start it that's when um your your
computer reboots and then as soon as you
go to the login screen you should see
the correct resolution sorry guys that I
had to use a phone to record is because
I'm changing my resolution as I'm doing
the video and if I use the capture
settings some software is gonna is gonna
get corrupted because the the resolution
is changing so that's why I had to use
my phone I couldn't just record off the
screen so yeah guys
so uh that's the only tips I could give
you to fix your stretch squish screen
like I'm just gonna set up my screen how
supposed to be I'm just going to click
okay so afternoons after following the
steps in this video you should get a
nice uh correct resolution for your
screen so I'm keep the changes right
there so yeah guys so that's basically
it thank you for watching this video
thanks for for all the support and
hewers that I still currently have and
I'm looking for making more videos or
into my water break so yeah oh and
today's Thanksgiving so Happy
Thanksgiving or whatever you celebrate
you guys so yeah again thank you guys so
much
