Display problems
on my dell inspiron 8100 laptop i have been having display problems. when i try to change the resolution (everything is very tiny right now) instead of making icons and text bigger, the screen changes so that the desktop does not even fill the whole screen and the edges are left black. i have never experienced this before. it used to work fine and on all my other computers the display settings work fine. what can i do?

RE: Display problems
That sounds pretty crazy, are you using Control Panel>Display Settings, or a third party utility like nView Desktop Manager (or some other video card function)? The only thing I can sugest is using the option you aren't currently.
