My windows, folders, winamp, dialogs are showing somewhere left my desktop. I can tell it because of their shadows on the left side of my monitor, I can´t move them or use them, unless I maximize them clicking on the taskbar, but not everything can be maximized...

can anybody help me?
thank you

You may have a secondary display on your graphics card enabled. That could explain that behavior. This assumes you have a dualhead graphics card. To check, right click a blank part of your screen and select properties> settings> advanced> displays. If a secondary display is enabled you should be able to fix it there. If this isn't the issue others may have suggestions.

Or, it may just be a simple problem that's solved by adjusting your screen size. Use the front buttons on your monitor, or by going into your display properties and adjusting your monitor positioning in there.
