But this is the information age. Ignorance is not forgivable, sorry.

Your simple answer is contained in your question. Obviously you have the
resolution set wrong on your monitor. Reduce it to 640x480 to avoid problems
like this.

You can get by with making your width only 640 if you follow my advice. Not
only will you avoid the problem you mention, but you'll save so much
bandwidth!

Others will recommend that you make your background 1280 or more pixels
wide. But why go to such lengths to solve a simple problem?

Of course, you must decide how to resolve the issue of your ignorance, and
to whom you will listen.

You simply need ask.
