Comment:
I just got done installing win 98SE in my older thinkpad 770. After I installed it, my screen is half the size. my screen is about 12x9 but the image on the screen is now about 6.5 x 4.5 it leaves a thich black border around the screen.
I tried to change the res from the 640x480 but that is the only option.
Does it sound like I need to download a driver? is there a way to fix this? this is A IBM Thinkpad 770

I downloaded a updated driver from the ibm site for the 770. now the screen is bigger, but now at 75% of full screen it got 25% bigger with the new driver. I still can not get full screen. I can now get 600x800 but still not full screen.
