Visual on my tv/monitor changed

Greetings to you all,

I am using my Bravia as a tv/monitor. Yesterday I connected my old AMD 2800 to it to do some testing. It runs on WinXP. Now that I have disconnected it and am using my main pc which runs on Vista Ultimate the icons in my taskbar are so low on the screen that I can barely see them; also the width of IE 8 is such that I cannot see the arrow in the upper left hand corner that brings you back to the previously viewed webpage; the x, _, and mimimize rectangle in the upper right hand corner are also not visible; and the icons on my desktop are so far to the left that they are only half visible.

I checked the resolution and it has not changed. See the attached, pls. The only possible reason for this that I can think of is that while using the AMD 2800 pc I had to download updates to its video card to solve a problem that I was experiencing while using it.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Hello cx2s,
Have you tried adjusting the "tv/monitor" screen position itself, rather than adjusting it from the PC ?.
Give this a try and post your results, good luck.

I appreciate your help but I am not sure I understand what you mean.

Sorry.

Today I will have time to try a few things. I will definitely keep you posted.

Again, thanks!

Use the controls/buttons on the TV/monitor to adjust the screen position.

I did as you suggested but it did not solve the problem. My guess is that with the next update to my video card (if there is one!) that the problem will be solved.

Thanks anyway.
