I think that might be the issue. Definitely try that, then post your results. We want to know if it works for you!

I definitely will, but she is using it right now and won't let me touch it again, lol

Think I figured it out...

I found a scaling option under Intel HD Graphice.

The options are:

- Maintain Display Setting
- Scale Full Screen
- Center Image

It was set to Maintain Display Setting, I switched it to Scale Full Screen. If I use Center Image it looks sharpest, but it doesn't take up the full screen.

Any other suggestions?

Can you post the system specs? The system model--Asus what?

Also, you're on the right track. It's got to be just a simple graphics problem. Keep poking around in the Intel graphics interface, and after you post your specs, we'll see what we can find.

Is the monitor using a non-native resolution?

It sounds like it's in clone mode and the monitor is using the laptops native display resolution.

What is the full model number of the laptop in question?

OK, it is an ASUS, model # ASUS A52F-XA3.

I'm still stuck at the same spot.

The resolution seems to be more set for the laptop display then the monitor.

It has to stretch it out to fill up the entire screen. Every so often the screen gets distorted.

The resolution is currently set to: 1366 x 768
