How do I correct the width of my display screen on my PC and restore it to default settings?

If both monitors are doing the same thing then it could be a video card issue.

How much of the screen are you losing? Is it just a small amount or is it a lot?
If it's a small amount then you can adjust the width using the monitor controls to see if that can fix the issue. Look for an icon that shows a screen with 2 arrows pointing out.

Adjust the size as far as you can making it smaller.


If the picture still doesn't fit on the screen then you do have a video card issue. You can replace the card or it might be easier to just get a new computer.

Cathode ray tubes have a service life of, generally about 7 to 10 years. A monitor marketed from c. 2001 to 2003 (as I ascertained) is nearing the end of its life.

Like I said. Troll.

Like I said - JACKASS.

I AM INTERESTED IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT.

THE MONITOR I AM USING RIGHT NOW IS FINE AND DOESN"T HAVE OVERSCAN ON IT.

I WASN'T GOING TO TAKE THE TIME TO TRY TO FIX THE OTHER MONITOR WHEN I HAD BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF.

I WAS NOT GOING TO TINKER WITH IT DURING WORK HOURS.

* sigh *

Parados and the others are snobs.

I give you help twice and both times you don't accept my help but call me names and ignore my help.

Thank you for your help. Right now I just using another monitor. I will tinker with the other one when I have to time to do so. I intend on fixing the other monitor later.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! This sort of communication is where you go wrong and why you've alienated many of the members here. You're manifesting a short temper, and you're calling someone a name. Christians should be patient and not use that kind of language. Believe me, I understand. I've lost my temper online before in this forum myself. This is where you trip yourself up.


But, my friend, you're clearly reading his posts! I know the temptation to read posts of a member whom you have on "Ignore" is strong. I've done it myself. But they love this sort of reaction. I have to admit it's funny.

Why is it FUNNY to you?

Because you're acting at cross purposes to your intention. Not meaning to demean you. I'm just chuckling a little bit at human nature.

I've got more than my own share of foibles, as well as weaknesses and shortcomings, to be concerned about.

Gotta go for a while (if not for the rest of the evening) ...

Are you one of those Assburger people?

This is easily some of the best material I’ve stumbled on today. It’s not what I was looking for but it sure got my interest. Now i’m glad I took the time to give it a look.

You are weird.
