  2. How do I change the aspect ratio of my monitor?

    I have been trying to change the aspect ratio of my monitor from its default 4:3 to 16:9.
    The aspect ratio was fine until the VGA outlet in my PC stopped working, and moving it to the other VGA outlet seems to have reset the aspect ratio to 4:3.

    Display Settings only lets me select a resolution of 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x1024, all of which are 4:3. I have been Googling 'how to change aspect ratio', but all of the solution I am finding are telling me to go to 'advanced display options'—which
    doesn't seem to exist.

    I have also tried to change the resolution with the options of my monitor itself, but the only aspect ratio options are 'stretch to fit' or 'stretch to fill'.

    How do I change the aspect ratio?

    Aspect ratio adjustment

    The aspect ratio of my screen is wrong. The picture is all stretched out with black on the top and bottom of the desktop background. How do I get the ratio back to normal?
