what video card do you have on your latitude?

I used to have that occur when I played DOS driven games (where the screen appeared to shrink and was surrounded with a black border) in Windows 98.

If this is what is occurring to you, then try pressing "ALT" and "Enter" simultaneously. (it's either that or "CTRL" plus "Enter"...It's been a while, so I'm not 100% sure).

Here's how to fix that: Right-click on your desktop, then click 'settings', then 'advanced', then 'displays', and check the box that says 'strech video'

I have a Latitude C800 with ATi drivers that has the same problem. Unfortunately, there is not a stretch video option in the Settings > Advanced > Displays panel, just a listing of schemes, hotkeys and available video displays. I'm running Mobility M4 AGP4X video driver. Any suggestions ?

Thanks, the busy beaver

Right click on desktop, properties, advanced, GeForce tab (if you have that card), device settings, screen adjustment, use display adapter scaling. Bingo!
