does your monitor have a self-adjust feature via the menus you can access from the buttons it somewhere? you could try changing your resolution, as well.
to change your resolution, right-click on your background, go to properties, then to settings, and find the slide button there to adjust it.

does the monitor have any kind of "auto focus" ability or anything of that type? have you tried updating or rolling back your video card drivers?
do you know when/how this happened, or what might have caused it? did you install any games or anything, or play with any settings?

Ok so you have tried the monitor buttons for resizing etc.. that didnt work... You have tried resolution changing and that didnt work... Have you got another monitor in you home you could try? Is the monitor a LCD (flat) or CRT (big)?

Ok... what about moving your unit to the monitor, you only have to connect the monitor and power cable just for testing....
If your parants are going to bitch tell them that they will have to buy you a new monitor then! ; ) lol (j/k)

You actually need to try the problem monitor on the other computer. If it has the same symptoms on that computer, then it may be toast.

I have had a similar problem:
I Got a New DELL not so long ago and i reformatted the hard drive, And did everything as usual. When i turned on my computer The screen was huge the resolution is 640 by 480 pixels and the slider on the that normally Changes the resolution wont move at all so the screen is to big and everything is jammed onto my 17" monitor. I read a Tutorial on M$'s site and it said i had to click the advanced tab and select the correct monitor type but for some reason the Properties button under the Monitor tab in the Display properties thing is non accessable. It is kinda faded and i can't click it. I Have no idea what went wrong or how to fix it. could someone help?.
Big Thanks To Jamaal10! |

Did you install the graphics drivers? maybe there is a partition on your hard drive with these on.. (Dell somtimes do that) or on another CD...
