Aliktren

you mean the resolution ?

in windows, right click on the background, properties, settings, check your resolution

kacie

i've no idea, all i know is that if i'm looking at the clock i have to move the screen over to see the icons on the other side

Aliktren

find the option on your monitor menu that is for factory reset

kacie

ok done that no different

Aliktren

then it's a problem with windows, so follow my first post and check your resolution (should be higher than 800*600)

kacie

still no different

Give it a good clean with this


Seriously, it does sound like the resolution as Aliktren mentioned. Are you sure you have checked the reolution???

The on-screen menus on your monitor should have settings to reduce/enloarge both X and Y axis of the visible screen. Have a play with the settings

kacie

tried all that i just get a black line across the top or side when i reduce the size of the screen

Shut down Windows. Restart in Safe Mode. Windows will start in 640x480 resolution. You should be able to reset your display settings from there.
