I just installed Windows XP in a Toshiba Satellite 4100XDVD laptop. The windows video output is not being displayed on the full size of the monitor. There is a 1" black band around the entire desktop area. Is there a way to expand the video out to get the full use of the monitor?

Click>Properties>then click the settings tab

In the screen res. Box. silde the bar, to a differ res.
