Screen size

[Guest]

My viewing screen does not fill the entrie space on my monitor. There are
black spaces above and below it. This is not an issue of maximizing the
browser because the same problem is there when I'm looking at my desktop
(where there is no browser open). This also has nothing to do with the
screen size in "Display" or the settings on the monitor itself. I've treid
all of these and nothing happpens.

There should be vertical and horizontal sizing controls on the monitor itself.

How stupid is that!...
It's called resizing the screen itself with the buttons on the monitor!
hahahhahahaha (idiot!)

Go again to "Display Properties" under Advanced - click "Adapter". Here set
the Display Mode by clicking on "List All Mode" and choose an appropriate
resolutio with correct Refresh Rate.

For example: For 17" CRT monitor 1024x768, High Color (16 Bit), 70 Hertz.

Hope this help, let us know.

I pray that God will pour out His abundant mercies on you and that He'll
give you Wisdom beyond your wildest dreams and He'll make all of those dreams
a reality. I plead the powerful blood of the Lord Jesus Christ over you and
I pray that you'll have peace that passes understanding. In Jesus Name,
Amen!!!

Before you call someone or take your monitor to service center, you must try
your best.

First of all, let us know that can you see the proper screen while booting
up your PC e.g. (the post screen or Windows XP Professional logo). If yes,
the only problem is with your Window's display settings. Mainly, your not
setting up correct Refresh Rate (Hertz) with proper Resolution and Colors.
Try changing different resolution that suites your need through List All
Modes only because different Refresh Rates are only available there.

One more thing you can try is booting your windows in Safe Mode and see if
the contents fit to screen properly. If yes, then only problem could be the
Refresh Rate.

If the problem doesn't solve then please specify your monitor model and size
in your next post.

Let us know!

While changing the Resoution of screen goes black then press nothing. It will
change automatically to previous resolution after 15 seconds.

Right click a blank area of the Desktop | Properties | Settings
tab | Advanced button | Monitor tab | Screen refresh rate.

Fiddle with the refresh rate until your display fills the screen.

You will probably have to lower the setting. Mine is set at 60 HZ.
Some people advise against this setting. It's supposed to make your
screen flicker.

Mine does not flicker. 60 HZ is the only setting that allows
the display to fill my screen.

[[Screen flicker results from a variety of factors, the most important of
which is the monitor refresh rate. If the refresh rate is too slow, the
screen may appear to glimmer. Another factor that affects screen flicker is
the persistence of the screen phosphors. Low-persistence phosphors fade more
quickly than high-persistence phosphors, making screen flicker more likely.
Screen flicker can also be affected by fluorescent lighting. Also, screen
flicker is a subjective perception that affects people differently. Some
people perceive screen flicker where others do not. Most people perceive no
screen flicker if the refresh rate is 72 MHz or higher. To reduce the
affects of screen flicker, use solid colors for the Windows desktop, rather
than dithers and patterns. If you have fluorescent lighting, you may want to
configure your hardware to use a non-interlaced video adapter mode. ]]

I pray that you start using more of your brain for rational processes, and
less of it for obsessions. Then, you could understand how to fix your
monitor.

LOL! (snort!)

And while you're at it, ask him if he can fix your monitor.

He's currently supporting house painters who invoke religion on their
business cards.
