monitor size

Hi any help pls?!

I have a 17" monitor old style - not flat... and I am not using all the screen to display windows. there is a black edge at the sides about 1/2 an inch at the left and about 1 inch on the right... Is there anyway I can big this up and use full potential?

Thanx in advance!

    Have you tried adjusting the screen using the buttons on the front of your monitor?

    Ive just got my speakers working again after 2 months of no sound and loads of driver downloads - to no avail ... I plugged the green socket back in the computer!

    Maybe I should be a computer techie?! :whistle:
