Display slightly off center after installing windows 7.

Hi comicda,

Follow the steps below and see if that makes your day better.

To center or move your desktop or picture on your digital display screen:

1.  From the NVIDIA Control Panel Classic Navigation pane, under Display, click Change display (flat panel) scaling to open the page.

2.  Select either one of these options, depending on which one gives you the result you want:

3.  Use NVIDIA scaling

4.  Use my display's built-in scaling

If your desktop or picture appears cutoff on your analog display (CRT) screen, try any one or both of these procedures:

Procedure 1:

1.  From the NVIDIA Control Panel Classic Navigation pane, under Display, click Change Resolution Attributes to open the page.

2.  Move the Display resolution slider to decrease (Less) your screen resolution until your desktop/image fits your screen.

Procedure 2:

1.  From the NVIDIA Control Panel Classic Navigation pane, under Display, click Move CRT screen position to open the page.

2.  Use the arrow keys on the image that appears to adjust your screen position until your desktop/image is no longer cutoff on any side.

If your desktop or picture appears cutoff on your TV or HDTV screen, try any one or both of these procedures:

Procedure 1:

1.  From the NVIDIA Control Panel Classic Navigation pane, under Video & Television, click Adjust screen size and position to open the page.

2.  Use the arrow keys on the image that appears to adjust your screen position until your desktop/image is no longer cutoff on any side.

Procedure 2:

1.  From the NVIDIA Control Panel Classic Navigation pane, under Video & Television, click Change television signal or HD format to open the page.

2.  Make sure the Connector-type list is set to the correct connection for your TV or HDTV display

3.  The HD mode list displays various HDTV display formats and equivalent screen resolutions such as 480p (720x480 progressive), 480i (720x480 interlaced), and so on.

Chose a format that gives you the display result you want on your screen.

If that does not help then you might also want to contact the monitor manufacturer and see if they have any updates on the issue.

Thanks for the input but my Nvidia control panel does not give me the options you have listed.
My nvidia device is a geforce 8600 GT and my monitor is a princeton vl193. My Nvidea contol panel lists the following headings
under Display
Change Resolution
Adjust desktop color settings
adjust desktop size and position
rotate display
set up multiple displays

I see no options to adjust scaling nor any options to move CRT position.
When I adjust the resolution I still always have black line down the side that never moves no matter what the rest of the display does. When I use the Nvidia control panel to move the display it just disappears under the black line. The only adjustment that works is on the monitor itself but the problem reoccurs everytime the monitor sleeps. I did not have this problem until I upgraded to windows 7 from Vista Home Premium
I have been unable to locate any drivers for the monitor no matter where I searched.
There is a way to set up custom resolutions and refresh rates etc but i am a little nervous to mess with that as it warns me I could damage my monitor if I use unsupported versions.

Any other suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
Comicda
