I have a Gateway profile computer that shipped with
Windows ME. I upgraded to XP. Because I had some
performance problems, I reinstalled XP from scratch. XP
works fine now, except that I no longer have a fill size
immage on my display. My display, an integrated flat
pannel, is 15 inches, but my image is only about 12
inched. The driver that shipped with the computer does
not work with XP and Gateway will not even talk to me
about it because I did not buy XP from them. Any ideas
of how I can fix this?

Bill, do you know who the maker of the video card is (it is probably an
onboard card)? You could go to www.aida32hu.com , download and run AIDA32,
the free Enterprise version. It will give you all the details of your
system, including the video card. When you have that info maybe you can go
to the website for that maker and get drivers.
Also, have you checked Windows XP Update? Many times they have updated
drivers there.
Last, have you right clicked on the desktop, selected Properties, Settings,
to see if there is anything you can do there?

Bill;
Did you check Gateways website for a Windows XP video driver?
