It seems you have something going on besides what it appears to be. A laptop will
have a native screen resolution. Unless you've got a 20" screen, the native resolution
should be 1024x768. A good 16" LCD might give you 1280x1024. Anything smaller than
the native resolution should give you ugly results. In your case, you say you were
running at 1600x1200. I'll assume that's true. You must have screen controls that
control the height and width. Select 1024x768. Then use the controls to stretch the
screen to the edges.
