Dell Laptop Small Display Size

A bit of help please, I am working on a Dell Latitude using Win2k and the display is only taking up about 1/4 of the screen, right in the center. I am sure this is a driver issue, but here's the thing, it's running an ATI Mobility M4 card and the drivers will not install properly, there are no errors on install, but on reboot the display is unchanged and the device manager states the drivers are not found. The only thing that dissuades me is that the screen display is the same in safe mode and even outside of windows entirely, the dell splash screen during post is the same size

sorry the message is "Windows could not load the drivers" not "not found"

Some laptops have a cmos setting to stretch screen, also if you haven`t already then install catalyst win2k & see if that installs graphics driver. Good luck.
