Computer problem whilst trying to run a PC game?

I hope someone can help with this. I have Windows XP and am trying to run Age of Empires II, which I have played before. Now all of a sudden when I open it, the computer screen moves the game about three inches to the left, leaving a black margin on the right side. I tried to change the screen resolution lower and higher, but it makes no difference. I went into Windows help, where it mentioned changing it to 256 colour, but that didn't work either. I tried changing it to an earlier Windows version and also tried to change the display size to 640 x ? (can't remember), but that didn't work. The only thing different about my computer now is that I used to have Norton Security running, but now have ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. I noticed that until I click allow on the alert Zonealarm displays before opening the game, the display goes distorted, and changed colours to black and blue. PS. This only happens whilst trying to play a PC game, so it's not a monitor problem...

go into the monitor menu and adjust the screen. (on the actual monitor) adjust the positioning and size.
