Acer AL2216W, black stripe appears to the right of the screen, impossible to get rid of

[TerabyteS_]

After clicking the "Auto Config" button on my Acer AL2216w screen a stripe appeared on the right of the screen where the screen doesn't "exist" and I can't seem to take the screen viewport back even by using the OCD setting and moving it to the right.

The left part of the screen is also hidden and I'm not able to see what's going on there.

The PC is connected to the screen through a DVI adapter and a VGA cable.

I also use multiple monitors and this is the second monitor. Anyway this seems not to be a related issue, as this used to happen even when I only had a single monitor. I managed to fix this issue once but it was more than two years ago and I can't remember what I did, and out of all of the things I've tried so far (connecting the screen to another PC and performing auto adjustment, switching the cables, etc.) none worked.

Here's how it looks:

Do you have the video settings set to the native resolution of the monitor?
