Weird Window Sizing

I have a laptop and I was trying to run this game, but in the process the game froze and my laptop wouldn't restart or turn off, so I took the battery out. Now when I started it up again, everything looks big and stretched out. How can I remedy this? It's very irritating to look at everything all stretched and wierd, any help would be appreciated.
