    Desktop is cut in 1920x1080 resolution


    Hello,

    I have a Radeon HD 4350 based display card,
    Dual boot PC with Win XP & Win 7 64 bit connected
    with a VGA cable to the monitor.
    I use a resolution of 1920x1080 for both OS.

    Yesterday, I booted up Windows 7 and I noticed that the left
    side of the desktop is missing (the part with the start button and
    the pop up menu), when I changed the resolution to 1360x768, it
    came back again, I opened an application and resized it on the entire
    desktop, then changed the resolution back to 1920x1080 and saw that
    the left part of the window is "missing" / cut off

    I tried to install the latest catalyst control center / drivers, but that
    did not help either.

    I rebooted to XP, there its fine in 1920x1080, I also tried to hook
    another PC to the monitor and it looked fine in 1920x1080.

    I have also, hooked up the PC running Win 7 to another monitor and in it
    I can see the desktop fine in 1920x1080.

    I would appreciate any thoughts about this scenario, as I am very confused,
    since everything used to work fine.

    Thanks :)

    Use a dvi cable, not a vga cable.
