211322 2004-01-30 08:26:00 My monitor has recently developed black borders on all four sides restricting access to displayed documents. Especially annoying on Adobe print instructions as can't reach the "start" button. In display an instruction about web pages reaching the edges of the screen is grayed out but can't work out how to restore it. Could this be the problem?Cheers.....John jarques (4877)

211325 2004-01-30 09:38:00 What sort of monitor is it? LCD or CRT?

Have a look at what refresh rate you have under Display > Properties.

It's CRT and the refresh rate is 85Hz

211327 2004-01-30 10:23:00 some monitors have a horizontal and vertical adjust on them check those
or you could try change your screen resolution

is the whole picture there? it may just need strething. use the contols on the front.
