Very Weird Monitor Problem

SOH-CM-2025
Woke up this morning, turned the PC on, the two flat screens came on, Win7 started and put me at the desktop and all my icons (that had been neatly arranged on both monitors for months now) were all crammed onto the main monitor and the resolution had changed from 1680x1050 to 1024x768. All I had done the night before was turn it off and everything was fine. I pulled out the disc that came with the new monitor (AOC e2343F) and reloaded the driver because in the monitor information shown for it referred to it as a "Non Plug n' Play", hmmmmm. Ok so I installed the correct driver, restarted the PC and it made no difference at all. The basic display seems a bit stretched from what it had been prior, the text is fuzzy each line of text will go from stretched vertically to squeezed vertically. I'm seeing that especially now as I type this post. Very odd. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might have happened here?

One note here. . . .no I can't restore because unknown to me, the restore function was not turned on.:banghead:
 
I think I figured this out. The last thing I did before I shut the system down was to play a few quick missions on Delta ForceX. It doesn't recognize the screen resolution so it runs a little diagnostic and resets the game resolution. For some reason, that game left it's footprint on the monitor after I closed the system down. I reran the game and then closed it out, restarted the PC and the resolution for the monitor went back to what it was supposed to be. I've never seen that happen before. Very odd.
