    My desktop has shrunk


    I suddenly have a 2 cm black space all around my desktop. I have crossfire ATI Radeon HD 5700's. I rolled back the drivers, but that did not solve the issue. I tried adjusting to a smaller resolution and then back to 1920 x 1080. No luck. What gives? Did my 2 year old touch something she shouldn't have? Is my monitor going bad? I have dual monitors, but this is only affecting my #1 monitor. Thanks for any help.

    I got it to work by going into CCC, selecting desktops & displays, right clicking the monitor in question, selecting configure, then scaling options and then slid the bar all the way to 0% overscan

    Is this right or do I need to be doing something else?

    Also what auto button are you talking about? I reset the monitor to factory defaults, but that did not work. Thanks.

What I mean is that they are a few pixels narrower than they should be. As a result any icons that normally appear on...
