Hello rolly,
Very odd have you tried a restore point back when the screen was 100 percent? Try that and lets us know if it helps.

the thing is i can't go back that far, should a fresh install do the trick or thats going to far

Did you check the "Show other restore points" box? Bottom left of this window.

I'm not sure what the problem is but it is video card and TV related.
So a reinstall of Windows won't help.

Tried to add this to my first post earlier and my keyboard quit working. I fixed that.

Someone may come along with more answers. I'm just not sure what to tell you having onboard graphics.

rolly, did you try a resolution setting below the 1360 x 760 to see if that fills the screen back?

 

[rolly]

well yeah the boarder get thinner but still present. i even full screen no boarder setting the screen just flashes and thats it.

Ouch ! How are you doing with 1gb of ram as well? Are you ReadyBoost'g ? Crucial has a ram calculator people here use a lot.

Memory upgrades from Crucial.com - Memory Calculator

so-so not using ready boost i have 2 512 pc2-3200 would 2 pc2-5300 show a difference.

You mean doubling your ram. Yes I think it would be huge but are your running 32bit or 64 bit W7? 32bit will cap out at a practical 3.4 gb's but 64 bit is almost unlimited. Likely your running 32 bit and I would like to see you add for a total of 4 gb's which would help tons. Keep in mind a usb or sd flash card is cheap and it will speed things along.
16GB Flash Memory, 16GB USB Flash, 16GB USB Flash Drive TigerDirect
Patriot had a wicked price on a 8gb stick for cheap but they sold out, it's one of the few that quote a ReadyBoost certificate.
