Can you elaborate on "messed up"? Items on screen stretched? Black horizontal/vertical bars? What resolution choices do you have?

So idk if this is helpful enough but these are the options i'm getting and all of them stretch the screen too much horizontally and everything is just way too big

Make sure your graphics driver is installed and current these are all 4:3 or close to it resolutions. I'm going to take a guess and say your monitor is a wider monitor (not square)?
