My computer desktop is larger than my monitor screen.?

Question

My screen resolution is set correctly for my 17" Flat Panel Monitor (1280 x 1024) and the refresh rate is set correctly, too (60Hz). The icons are all the correct size, but I have to move my cursor to each far side of my screen to get the rest of the desktop to show. I'm only seeing a portion of every single screen. It doesn't matter if I'm on the Internet or on some other program, the window is larger than my monitor screen and I have to basically 'scroll' over to see the rest of the information. Except there aren't scroll bars - I just move my cursor over there and it pops the rest of the window over. It happened after I changed my resolution to be smaller then changed it back to normal. Any suggestions on how to really make it go back to normal?? I've already tried rebooting several times to no avail. I've changed the resolution and changed it back, several times hoping to trick it into getting back to normal. So far, no good.

Hello, I am Gaspar from Ask Dr.Tech support service.



Press "Auto" button on the display, it will automatically configure your display.

If that doesn't help, go to "Menu" button on the monitor and configure horizontal/vertical screen position manually.

If you have the resolution set to 1280x1024, and it is doing what you say it is doing, that means that the monitor does not have a 1280x1024 resolution, or you are having driver issues. Try setting it to a lower resolution until everything fits. If there aren't many resolution options coming up, make sure you have the proper video drivers installed. Not having the right drivers can cause weird problems like the ones you are describing. Some more information about what kind of graphics/monitor/computer you are using may be helpful.

you will additionally would desire to enhance the call. in case you enhance the call without buying a extra robust visual reveal unit, she would be able to finally end up having to scroll left and proper, up and right down to confirm all of the enjoying cards on the interest table. in case you get a great enormous visual reveal unit then changing the call won't cause them to burst off the facets of the view section. So in short, opposite to the be responsive to not something who gave me a thumbs down and then gave a thoroughly incorrect answer, merely buying a extra robust visual reveal unit won't enhance the dimensions of whats displayed on the reveal you will merely finally end up with an identical sized icons and enjoying cards crowded right into a corner with multiple unused area left over.
