My stupid comp..

[Perseus]

Well my comp is being fucking stupid and decided to push my screen to left where there is this black line on the right instead of screen, so it made everything bigger and pushed it to left. I checked to see if it was in safe mode, adn I started it in regular mode and it is still being goofy. I think it has something to do with virtual memory, but I haven't the slightest idea what it is used for besides storing virtual stuff. :P Anyone got an ideas?

What OS? What kind of screen?

I'm willing to bet he has Windows XP and a CRT monitor. (LCD screens usually don't do this)
Do you know your way around your screen's settings? If not, I suggest grabbing someone who knows their way around.
Go into your screen's settings, and look for the sliders that adjust your screen's size properties. If they're way off (Like really close to 0, or 100) change it back to 50, then make subtle changes to get your screen back to the way it was. (Or if there's a 'Defaults' option, then just use that, that should work)

Also, how did you come to the conclusion that it was your virtual memory? VM never touches any type of graphics-realated memory.

Well, this is my sister's old computer and she fucked up with all her aim siht and stuff and if I decide to stay on the usernaem Im on and its on the internet, it will lose the interent connection for one and it will say on the sign in thing, " your computer is low on virtual memory" and something else, I forgot. But this is Windows XP.

You're getting the "Your system is low on Virtual Memory" message, because, well, it's exactly that.
How much free space do you have on your C:\ drive? (Or whatever drive that Windows is installed to)
(If you know) How much PHYSICAL RAM do you have in your system? (512MB?)
If you have 1Gig or less of RAM, you should have at least 4-6 gigs of free space on your C:\ drive for Virtual Memory to function without Windows nagging you about the Virtual Memory being low.
Try running disk cleanup on your C:\ drive if it's low on space, or delete useless documents (Also, empty your recycle bin).

By they way. It was a CRT monitor right? And my fix, well, fixed it right?

I have no clue to how to do anything you've recomended me because this computer is stupid and slow now, and Im not familiar with it like I am with my parents' computer , which tells you how much freespace you ahve and etc...
