Windows startup resolution

Question

Hi, I have an Inspiron 640m/E 1405. The problem I have is with the resolution of the Windows Start-up screen. When I bought the PC, during the Windows XP bootup the logos of the Windows screen were perfect and the image was distributed along the full surface of the PC. After a few months this changed suddenly. The windows boot-up screen has an higher resolution (text much smaller and almost unreadable) and the boot screen is surrounded by big black stripes top bottom, left and right, as if Windows was trying to boot on a smaller screen. This small screen disappears once Windows is loaded up and I can see properly within Windows. Can anyone suggest what to do to get back the proper Windows loading screen?
