The bottom of the screen is black-as though there is a border along the bottom. I can't find a horrizontal adjustment anywhere.

It is a vertical issue, not horizontal.

Is the picture you have complete? Is there a black band along the top as well? If so, it may be because you are providing an HD aspect ratio of 16:9 instead of the TV native 4:3.

Try hooking up a VCR and watching a tape. Do you still have the black band on the bottom?

Windows 7 - adjust monitor screen??? using a 15" monitor and now have black space around picture.

Control Panel/Appearance and Personalization/Display/Adjust resolution. Try higher resolutions on the list.
If that doesn't do it I would go to Device Manager, and update driver for display adapter. May need to go to the manufacturers website
and Support Tab for drivers.

Tool bar moved t right and is large

Right click on the task bar (I assume you mean the bar that is typically at the bottom of your desktop?)
Make sure "Lock the Task bar" is not checked
Click on the border of the task bar
drag directly from where you clicked to the bottom
Adjust height accordingly

Black border around screen

Have you checked to see that you've set the correct resolution for your desktop?

The specifications say that the laptop's display can show 1024x768 pixels.

http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/products/notebooks/tecra9000/index.htm

Set it to that first. Anywhere below that resolution (for example 800x600) may be causing black borders on your screen.

Hope this helps!

The picture is not "full" screen. It's as if there's a black border around it. How do I fix this?

I have a 50" rear projection mitsubishi. These are not "widescreen" tvs and some programs come out like that so as not to cut out any picture. Mine will adjust to utilize the entire screen though. Go to "menu" and check your settings for the screen size because they are probably set wrong--check all video settings.

Screen resolution change = black border around small screen

Once you change the resolution to a smaller size and you see the black border, go into the monitor's menu and there should be settings for the Horizontal and Vertical size/position. Adjust those until it looks correct.

I hope this helps :)

Best Regards,

James

Printing problem in Microsoft Word 2003

Does the bottom border show up in Print Preview? Some printers will not print the full page, to include the border if it is too close to the papers edge. If you adjust the border to be further away from the pages edge, it should print. Instead of applying a page border, you may have to draw a border using a rectangle shape and apply the desired line style.
You can also try to adjust the border margin to measure from "edge of page" instead of measure from "text". This setting is on the options button located on the page border tab under the Borders and Shading window. This may allow you to adjust the margin enough to be able to print the border.

Screen does not fill completely

The most obvious answer would be to try the "ratio" button on your remote. This will cycle through the different aspect ratios so you can find one that suits you.

Black pictures with blue lines running horrizontally through them

If you are able to see the picture in the LCD in black color and if there are no damages to the LCD -the LCD is fine. There is a back light panel attached behind the LCD which may be defective.Check for the loose connections. If you need spare parts contact me.
