For quite a while now, My monitor has been hidding on the LH side the Start/Shut Down button-- part of the Quick Launch Bar, the Windows active displays-- and hides most of the Systems tray including the Time/Date. I have no idea how to make it "shrink" to show all I need in the display.

After searching this forum, I decided perhaps it might be related to my Graphics Controller-- so did a diagnostic Video Card per directions in one of the posts. Several items fail in Full Screen bouncing.

I've saved that report and can copy/paste here, if this is part of the problem. I am using an old CRT Monitor 2237 C71 from an IBM 1999 computer -- with XP of course. My report information also says I have installed an Intel ($) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller -- with driver # ialmrnt5.dll dated 10-19-2005 listed as installed when I ran the diagnostic.

Also, when I open a full Window-- I have to immediately shrink it by grabbing sides and corners-- so that I can see the minimize, close & expand buttons. This has gone on for over half a year now-- but today in trying to work on a new application (WINK) it just would not show me approx. 1/4 of the screen on either left on right. The top/bottom I can control better.

So, these are my hardware issues. I also just finished an entire Malware removal thread with TomK in the HijackYour COmputer forum -- and could post the Scans if needed. I don't know the posting link ID-- but will try to find it soon!

Thanks,

khaef
