Problems with display...
I did a clean install. Everything went fine for now and this was the first time I ever did a clean install. But I am having probs with the display. I think before I did the install it was set to 1024x768 with ture color 32 bit. But now the desktop looks funny. The theme is like a box with about 2 inces around it thats black. Am I doing somthing wrong or did I forget to install something. Thanks Jeff

I recently upgraded my graphics driver and after doing so the image didn't fill my monitor's screen. I suspect that you may have not installed the same graphics driver that was in place before your reinstallation.

If the display looks proper except for its size, you might try opening the control panel on your monitor and using the controls there to resize and recenter the image.
