Well I recently had my discs corrupted and the guy put in new disc drivers and loaded his version of Windows XP, my problem is, when my laptop starts up, the 'Windows XP' sign come up very small in the middle, with 2" gaps of black surrounding the 'Windows XP' sign.
Whenever I try and play a fullscreen game, the game is exactly the same size as the 'Windows XP' sign that comes up at startup. Is there any chance that I can somehow restore my laptop so that it plays fullscreen programs in FULLSCREEN? Instead of always the application running in the middle of my screen with 2" gaps of black in all 4 sides.
If you know anything about this, ANY advice would be REALLY respacted and I just hope somebody out there can help me. Thanks alot in advance for your answers!

"the guy put in new disc drivers and loaded his version of Windows XP" - won't work.
You must use your Recovery disks, included with your PC, to avoid driver problems, not a store-bought XP disk.
The Recovery disks may be ON the hard drive, so Read The Friendly Manual FIRST to find out how to make your own Recovery disks, if it's not already too late.
Call the laptop manufacturer for more info.
