Thanks for your reply,
My laptop is Dell Inspiron 8500 and requires a resolution of 1680x1050 ( this is what i have under windowsXP) for get a full screen display. I also tried 1600x1200 resolution but it chops the top and bottom part of display as a result i'm not able to see the menu bar.
As of now, i've kept the resolution to 1400x1050, using this, i get full vertical display but horizontally, i get two black bands on either sides of screen. can i stretch this to 1680x1050?
Thanks
Vikas

Not sure if yours is the same as a friend of mine's Dell laptop, but her
screen is a 1600x1200 resolution screen..
My recomendation is that you increase your resolution a step at a time
until it fills the screen.. I am guessing that it probably defaulted to
1024x768, so move it up to 1280x1024 and see if it fills the screen, if
not go up another step..
Alternatively there is usually a "stretch" option in laptop BIOS's thet
will stretch the screen image to fill the screen, of course this usually
makes the image quality really crap..
Later..
