Please upload a screenshot for us. Also, please include the "Screen Resolution" window just in case. Do you have the lastest drivers installed from ATI?

i don't see how my monitor's size could help, it's totally irrelevant, the aspect ratio is the problem.man, of course something's wrong otherwise i wouldn't be asking questions.not only the photos are wider, everything looks wider including internet sites, etcetera.even asking me to put some screenshots was an idiot idea because it implies me being stupid or paranoid about this thing.it's from the graphic card but i have no idea what exactly.would you please be kind and not put an answer to this thread unless you can say something that could sound even a bit logical.thank's alot | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number fujitsu siemens amilo a1655g OS windows 7 CPU amd turion 64 1,8 ghz Motherboard acpi x86 Memory 1 gb ram Graphics Card ATI XPRESS 200 Sound Card Azalia compliant audio chip PSU - Case - Cooling internal fans+3 external base fans Hard Drives 80 gb internal, toshiba 500 gb external |

i have an ati radeon x200..i installed the compatible driver for it but without any luck and also i tried with windows 7 loader to make it download its own driver without my intervention and it also didn't help...so i kinda ran out of ideas..i found others posting the same problem on the internet and they didn't find any solution either.. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number fujitsu siemens amilo a1655g OS windows 7 CPU amd turion 64 1,8 ghz Motherboard acpi x86 Memory 1 gb ram Graphics Card ATI XPRESS 200 Sound Card Azalia compliant audio chip PSU - Case - Cooling internal fans+3 external base fans Hard Drives 80 gb internal, toshiba 500 gb external |

Install like this:
Extract from my link by running the installer. Close it as soon as it is done extracting.
Then go to device manager. Right click standard vga. Browse. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse. Find the extracted .inf. Double click on it. Hit ok. Hit next. Reboot and choose an Aero theme.
Enjoy. ATI Catalyst? Legacy Display Driver
