Hope you got it Wendi......................I just got windows 8, anyone else, WTF, who would have thought that I'd have to start completely over, geez, what a pain.
Smaller screen LOL you guys are so funny !!! 314 I'm afraid to upgrade for that very reason. I still have whatever came on the computer
I bought a new powerful small laptop "lenovo" after extensive research and you're going to find when it's time to buy new,I don't think you're going to find any windows 7 or any older version, everything I found had windows 8 and it's bitch, sorry, I'm getting it, but it's ten times harder than anything I've ever worked with.
I didn't want to upgrade either but my old computer was 8 years old and nothing was working on it anymore, so I didn't have a choice.
Under display properties click the drop down box and change from stretch to center. Your old monitor was square (4:3) and the new one is rectangle (16:9) or widescreen. Call me and I can walk you thru it. You won't mess anything up or loose anything on the computer by doing this.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and smokin, shouting "Holy Shit ...What A Ride!"

Beat me to it. Go into the properties and find it and reset the screen...that will fix it...post up a pic of the screen after you are done so I can see if you got it right please...
There's a curve to Windows 8..thats for sure...I have a love/hate relationship with it, that's for sure....but slowly, I am learning it, and adapting...but it takes a while..
