Please help me........

Most monitors have little buttons on the front or back that you can click and dink around on to change your screen size and shape, etc. Look for the little buttons and start pressing them!

You want isolate the problem. List of culpruits include monitor, video controller, and Windows or driver. This is what a diagnostic does. Better computer manufacturers provide these diagnostics on the machine, on accompanying media, and/or on their web site. Diagnostic eliminates Windows complications from the analysis AND will test the hardware in numerous modes - providing information that cannot be obtained while running Windows..

Meanwhile, other information is important. For example, when the system starts, first video mode is Mode 3 or 7. What happens during the initial messages from BIOS (BIOS is the first program executed by the PC to load all other software. It announces itself and executes simple functions such as a memory detection test)?

Other ways of providing assistants with useful information is to boot the system with a DOS system diskette or other programs that don't load or use Windows.

If computer did not provide diagnostics (a program that executes without Windows), then diagnostics are obtained from the video controller manufacturer's web site. First identify the video controller - which is often announced when the BIOS first executes. Manufacturer names include NVIDIA and Chip and Technologies. Different display modes are demonstrated in a discussion at display adapter .

In simple terms, the video system is a computer (the video controller) and a peripheral of that computer (video monitor). The monitor typically displays what the video controller provides or displays nothing intelligable. Video monitor operates similar to how your TV reacts to the local video controller - the television broadcast station. For better answers, information for that above tests will 'help your help'.
