Problem with Screen Resolution

[Legend87]

Hello everyone. Hopefully you can help me with this problem that has
been driving me crazy. I am using WinXP (home) on my laptop and I have
a problem whenever I reboot my laptop.
Whenever I reboot the system, the screen does not fill up the whole
screen. In other words, there is about an inch of black margin around
all four sides of the screen.
I have to rightclick on the background, go to properties/settings and
then change my resolution to something different, hit Apply, then
change it back to 1280x1024 and click OK. This will fill the monitor
screen 100% and everything looks fine.
However, once I reboot the computer, it will come back with the black
border again... arg. In fact, when I go back into Settings to change
back the resolution, I notice that it has also changed back to
"Multiple Monitors" in stead of "default monitor" - if that makes any
difference. I've been changing it just in case.

Any ideas???
(p.s. I'm having trouble getting this message to post. Sorry if it is
a multiple post!)

Every laptop is proprietary and has different "special" components. Go to
the support section on the web site of the computer manufacturer. Or, read
your manual for possible assistence.
