so i was posting a reply on subsim about 45 minutes ago and i accidentally kicked the power switch to my outlet extension (the apparatus that has multiple power outlets, and subsequently all my computer equipment plugged into it). Turned everything right off. Never had a problem before when this happened, but this time when i booted and logged in i noticed my desktop icons were jarbled and the resolution was funky.

I go into my display settings and my resolution is set to 1360x768 (i always keep my desktop res set to 1440x900, the monitor's native resolution). I try to fix it and i can't. Nvidia's control panel only shows me previously unavailable resolutions, it goes 1360x768 and then jumps to 1600x900 without allowing the option of 1440x900. Same in windows control panel. It also claims the monitor's native resolution is 1024x768.

Nothing is working. Nvidia's control panel makes no sense to me. I think the aspect ratio got messed up and the "adjust desktop size and position" panel doesn't let me change the aspect ratio back to 16:10 (or 16:9, i forget exactly which it was). I tried searching the internet far and wide to no avail.

What should i do?
