| 175863 | 2003-09-17 02:22:00 | When I log on to my computer(running XP) only 2/3 of the screen is viewable. The rest has moved up above the top of my monitors viewable area and there is a black blank screen at the bottom of the monitor.Some of the icons I use are not able to be seen. Can anyone help me to fix this |

| 175864 | 2003-09-17 02:36:00 | What brand of monitor? Was this a sudden event? Is the image otherwise normal? Does anybody else have access to the computer? Have you tried checking the vertical centering control? This is built into your monitor and is usually accessible from the frond control menu. It is indicated either by a vertical arrow, or more likely, a picture of a screen sitting too high on the monitor face. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 175865 | 2003-09-17 02:44:00 | The monitor is a lcd -auriga ax. The screen went this way after i installed a mouse driver for my samsung optical mouse. I have tried the centering function on the monitor but this didn't work. I have also uninstalled the mouse driver. The image is otherwise normal and no one else has access to the computer. If I adjust the vertical height the display just moves within the boundaries of the screen already showing. Any suggestions?? | iceman (4578) | ||
| 175866 | 2003-09-17 03:11:00 | Well, I'd look for residual files from the mouse installation and manually delete them as that sounds suspicious, then if the LCD screen required anything in the way of drivers I'd uninstall it then reinstall. Does it work OK on an ordinary CRT monitor? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 175867 | 2003-09-17 03:16:00 | I don't have one to test this on at this point. Would it be possible that the screen resolution needs to be adjusted..currently at 1028 x 1024(I think)?? | iceman (4578) | ||
| 175868 | 2003-09-17 03:42:00 | Thats the problem. Set the resolution to 1024 x 768. Thats the native resolution for LCD. You may need to reinstall the monitor driver, as it shouldn't allow that setting to be an option. |

| 175870 | 2003-09-17 03:47:00 | Had a similar problem last week, for some reason the auto centre button did this. Just adjust the screen position manually through the monitors menu. | rsnic (3780) | ||
