My start up screen suddenly has a black border on the side and everything is large. I put an older CD (child game) and downloaded, played the game, ejected CD and everything changed on my start up window. The CD is probaly for an older window's system. I have tried fixing via control panel but no success. Can you help? Thanks! Wanda

The cable connecting the motherboard to the screen might have a few open wire. It's why the problem occur when you move the lid.
download the service manual to have access to this cable (HERE: : http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/edwin/laptops/Dell/LATITUDE/C510-610/C510-610.PDF)
Unwrap very gently the cable from is sticky tape and you should find a dozen of very small wire, one or two might need to be reconnected together.
Or You might also have a problem with the VGA card, in that case your only chance is to find a replacement one on ebay, or if the VGA card is integrated to the motherboard, then....live with it.
You should find all the details on the service manual.
Good luck tell me if it did solve anything, and please rate..
cheers

It's probably a limitation of the graphics card in the laptop. You should have atleast 64mb dedicated video memory for full screen.
