Clarence,
It sounds like you are using a different screen resulation
with your new moniter. Try right clicking an empty
section of the desktop, choosing properties, click on the
settings tab, and set your moniter to a lower screen
resulition.
I'm useing a 1152 x 864 resalution and am getting about
the same results as your describeing.
If you view the gateway website in 800 x 600 you will see
it looks correct.
Hope this helps,
Jonathan
