Bad Image Transfer from norm to widescreen

I moved my files from one PC to another, and now my images are all warped.


I orignially put them on the widescreen in a Normal resolution, then swapped to a widescreen resolution, the images didn't return to normal, they may have adjusted to the widescreen at their new reso.

Any quick fixes?

    I have absolutely no idea what this means.

    You moved images from a computer with a 4:3 screen to one with a widescreen. Did you then edit the images or something?

    Yeah, I don't understand what you're talking about either.

    If you just transfered the files, you should probably make sure the resolution on your widescreen monitor is set correctly. Running a 4:3 res on a 16:10 monitor will cause everything to look distorted and stretched.

    If you turned 4:3 images into 16:9 or 16:10 images in photoshop or something and saved over the originals, you're fucked.

    Moving files does not change their content.

    Are you using the pictures as your background or something? Because if you have "stretch to fill screen" enabled they will look warped.

    I moved them to a widescreen that had a 4:3 resolution, and they looked wonky.

    I changed it to a widescreen resolution but they still look wonky.

    Ok, you can't move files onto a monitor. Any kind of monitor. Did you plug a different monitor into your computer or did you transfer the files to a different computer with a widescreen monitor?

    What program are you using to view the images? Photoshop? Or are you just viewing them as wallpapers on the new computer? Does anything else look distorted on the monitor?

    Does the following image look like a circle or an ellipse on your widescreen monitor?
