Screen goes off the side of my monitor

My screen extends off the monitor on the right and bottom of my monitor. How do I fix this?
Hi Preston. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP here to help you.

1) Update the Display driver from the PC or Display adapter maker's Support Downloads web page for your exact model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag - from the sticker on the PC.

While there check also for newer chipset, BIOS, network, sound, USB3 and other drivers, comparing to the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

if this doesn't give you the latest or ideal driver for what you need, compare it to the driver offered by the Intel driver update Utility here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/...
or the Nvidia Update utility here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=e...
or the AMD autodect utility here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/P...

For Display issues one fix that is working is to Roll back or Uninstall the Driver on the Display Device > Driver tab, restart PC to reinstall driver.

You can also try older drivers in Device Manager > Display device > Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.

Then you will know you've tried everything in addition to Windows Update drivers.

2) Adjust the screen resolution until it fits correctly, at Settings > System > Display.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. If you'll wait to rate whether my post helped you, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hi Preston

Right click your Desktop, there you should see the control panel for your graphics device - Intel . . . etc. open that

Make sure Aspect Ration is set to either 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' or Automatic

If that does not work for you, and you are using a PC with a separate monitor, on the side or bottom of the monitor is a menu button, press that

On the on-screen controls, look for an 'Autifit' option, if you do not find that, look for a horizontal and vertical scaling option and use that to resize your image . . .
