    Just recently, I noticed a visual change in the way my computer boots up on the monitor. Normally it would use the full screen of the 20" monitor but now it boots up in a reduced area of the monitor. In fact some of the printed matter is slightly cut off. It does fill out when Windows opens but not before. I have checked all monitor circuits and drivers and nothing seems to be out of order. Any suggestions would help.

    On the monitor's OSD menu, try selecting the "Auto-center image" (or similar wording).

    You don't want it locked. You want the monitor to attempt to center the image on the screen ... while it's displaying whatever it is that is not centered.

    Well after resetting everything to default and then customizing the problem seems to be solved. The auto still says locked. Thanks for the assistance.
