WindowsXP does not go full screen

[Don]

Hello;
This is my first brush with WindowsXP and I'm lost as
to why the window is not expanding to the full
width/height of my little 17" screen. I'm missing about 1
inch on both the left and right and another half inch on
the top of the screen. It's just black around those
sides. Anyone have a clue why?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Don

What happens when you adjust the vertical and horizontal position
and size controls on the front of your monitor? Consult the monitor's
manual for detailed instructions.

A flaw in windows xp when you upgrade the video card driver to one not
innate to windows xp.
