Windows 7 boot screen not properly centered
OK, first let me say I'm not quite sure if this is a software issue and not hardware.
I have a Philips 220VW 22" 16x10 monitor and till a year ago I had a similar 22" 16x10 Philips monitor(had to replace it since I had some problems with it). After using Windows XP for quite some time I decided to give Windows Vista a try (that was back in 2007). However, every time I boot up or restart Windows, when reaching Windows Vista boot screen (the one with the green blocks, not the log in screen), I had to wait about 10 seconds while the monitor was trying to center the Windows logo without luck since the logo ended up somewhere in the low right corner of the screen. The new monitor I have right now was offered as a replacement by Philips since the old one had some technical problems and somehow seamed to solve the problems with Vista boot screen. Unfortunately, this happens on Windows 7.I contacted Philips and they claimed that this is not a hardware issue but a software issue since everything else was fine. I was told that Windows 7 does not have a proper scaled loading screen for this monitor???. This also happens when, by any chance, I end up with the Windows fail options screen (the one with last goon known configuration, normal boot etc - don't know how it is called ).
I know I don't spend too much time staring at the loading screen but is there any way to fix this? It's quite annoying to see it, even for 10 seconds.
