I'm back with another problem with my Toshiba Satellite 205cds Laptop not filling the full screen. The actual screen dimensions are 6.75 x 9
The desktop size is 5.5 x 7.25
I can't get the desktop size to be 6.75 x 9I am unable to move the resolution slider beyond 640x480
I believe the laptop originaly came with Win95, would it help if I installed Win95
All drivers are the latest for this model.
I've tried Toshiba's website but it's no help.
I've also tried changing the resolution in Safe Mode but no luck.
Hi, The video drivers may not be installed. Win95/98/Me/XP etc. may or may not have the correct driver. Go to the Maker's site and download the correct video driver. If you can't find it try driversguide.com.
Good Luck, Jim
I've tried every driver available but it still won't go to full screen.
There is about a 1" blank border around the Win98 desktop and the edge of the viewable screen
This is because many laptop screens are setup so they only display fully at 1024:768. When your display is set smaller (640:480) it boxes the display. You have to somehow get your resolution bigger. Try this: Goto your device manager (control panel > system). Find the monitor driver (not display, the monitor). Double click on the monitor, navigate to the "driver" tab, and click "update driver". Click install a specific driver/specific location. Make sure it shows ALL hardware. In the "manufacturer" tab, select "standard monitor types", and in the "model type" select "Super VGA 1024:768". Install that driver, reboot if necessary. It is a generic driver, but it should let you change your display from 640:480 to 1024:768 and use all your display.
Hey mjohn911, it worked. Thanks a bunch,
