Can't figure out what one you're talking about so here
goes:

Using the buttons on your monitor for the horizontal and
vertical size and position, you should be able to get it
to the desired size.

If you are talking about your desktop image not being big
enough, go into control panel->display and using the
dropdown box on the right say "Stretch" instead of "Center"

Actually Andrew you're way off. They're talking about the actual screen
to monitor... windows outputs the desktop and boundries but leaves
about an inch around the screen... and unreachable space. I have the
same problem on my laptop and haven't found anything that fixes it
other then resizing the settings.... but every time I start the machine
from off or standby it's back to the same inch margin of unusable
space... and then again I have to change my settings to fill the
monitor. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let us
know... I'm running windows xp with a 64mb gforce card. Should be a
setting somewhere that can help.
