The used screen space on my laptop shrunk for no specific reason.  Could you
people help me fix this?  I can't do anything major like reinstalling • Windows.
Please help!  TIA

What kind of Laptop?  What version of Windows? • Toshiba Tecra 530 CDT, Win 95

My instinctive response is "check the bios" and "toggle the LCD/CRT setting"
LCD/CRT didn't help, and I have no idea how to mess with BIOS.

Haven't played a whole lot with Toshibas, so I'm not sure what the BIOS access
keys are...your manual should tell you how to get into and check BIOS settings.

Hmm.  Did Matthew's suggestion help?  That would be my next guess.  Then
confirm that the various settings in Display Properties jive with what they
should be.  Beyond that...well, there's a reason I don't do help desk - I
stink at long distance troubleshooting.
