Hi Gregg,
As Ron Martell stated prior, this is a function of the video card/driver.
Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card from the
manufacturers web site.

Larry,
Yes, there are some controls for size, but I do not think that is the
issue.
I have two LCD monitors at home on different video cards (NVIDIA and ATI),
and I can change the screen resolution from its native format. The icons
and other stuff get bigger and not as sharp, but it still uses the whole
size of the screen for the desktop.
When I do the same thing on the laptop, the icons and text stay the same
size, but the viewable desktop just keeps getting smaller and smaller as I
go from 1680 x 1050 to 1280 x 1024 down to 800 x 600. By the time I hit
800 x 600, the laptop shows the desktop in about a 6" x 5" rectangle. I
have a 15.4" wide display on the laptop.
I would expect the desktop itself to remain at the full physical size of
the screen but have the icons get bigger as an analog monitor would do or
as my desktop LCDs do.
My laptop has an NVIDIA Quadro FX Go700. The Tablet PC I mentioned is a
Fujitsu P-1610.

Hello!
On my Dell Precision M60 laptop and on a friend's Fujitsu Lifebook P-1610
Tablet PC, both running XP Pro, whenever the resolution is changed from
the
native resolution to something less, it creates a black border all the
way
around the new desktop instead of taking the whole screen space as an
analog
monitor would do.
Is there a way to have lower than native resolution and still use the
whole
screen size?
Thank you for the help!
Gregg Hill
Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I
can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
