I'm having an issue with my computer. I have a Gateway tablet laptop with Windows XP SP2. I also have a 20" ViewSonic VX2025wm monitor that I have been able to previously hook up to my computer and run at a high resolution (1600x1200 if I recall correctly). I just had my computer reimaged, and I now when I plug in my monitor (it's plug and play) and try to change the resolution to anything bigger than 1024x768, it goes off the screen and I have to scroll to see my whole picture. In the past when I changed the resolution, everything on my desktop became smaller and crisper. Now, rather than the size of the pixels shrinking, they stay the same size and the desktop ballons out in size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
it might just be a ratio problem? i just got a new widescreen monitor and i had to reset my games so that it fit it right. Well with mine my monitor would fit all the resolutions but it would just look stretched, so i just had to play around with different resolutions to find a good one that looks normal juts. . wider
