It's a 22" flatscreen.

I haven't changed any of these settings. Everything was working fine until
the power-cut. Is it possible the Windows screen settings have broken as a
result? Hadn't checked since the screen size appears to be exactly as I
expect.

Checking now shows: Windows is set to 1680 x 1050 (Recommended).

VRPC is set to 1440 x 900 (60Hz) not fullscreen but window is resized to fit
screen.
