split screen windows 7

my sons laptop has windows 7 and a line has appeared down the middle of the screen next to where the blue arrow is in the top centre. How can we get this reverted back to a " normal screen"
thanks in advance TM

I'm guessing it's 'Ultimate', doesn't the usual right click next to the clock, then 'cascade windows' not work?

Hi there, your problem seems strange to me. Am I right in assuming you are using ATI Catalyst. If so, follow these instructions cos this is what I think is happening. Does the line have a colour??

1. Open ATI's Catalyst Control Center (no need to disable it in MSCONFIG). look for the menu that allows you to go to the AVIVO Video tab.

2. From there, there are several sub tabs, one called "ALL SETTINGS" You have to scroll down to a box called "Video Demo Mode".

3. The box "Enable Demo Mode" was checked. I unchecked it, disabled Demo mode-No more red line or split screen!
