Small Display on the monitor

Expand Post »
I just installed Windows XP in a Toshiba Satellite 4100XDVD laptop. The windows video output is not being displayed on the full size of the monitor. There is a 1" black band around the entire desktop area. Is there a way to expand the video out to get the full use of the monitor?

Re: Small Display on the monitor

Have you updated the Video Driver on the laptop? Besides updating it via Windows Update go to your laptop manufactor site and get a updated driver that should honestly clear this problem. It's at least one of the things I would do.
