| what do you mean by 'the screen has shrunk'?
if it doesn't fill the whole screen then your screen resolution settings aren't at the native resolution of the LCS screen. try using a higher resolution. | |

| Don't think it's the resolution settings.
I think he means there's a black border around the desktop display that Windoze can't remove.
I had an old Mitac laptop/shitbox that did that.
From memory, I think there was a "stretch" or "TV Display" setting or something like that in BIOS .
Have a look around the display options in BIOS. | |

| you may need to update the video driver | |

| There's probably a screen utility for the device itself (independent of the OS). |
