Ok guys, I have a Quadro FX 580 installed on a Windows 7 x64 bit computer.
It is connected via a DVI to hdmi cable.
The problem is that the screen edges are not being scaled to fit on the monitor.
For instance you cant see the taskbar or the windows start button.
It doesnt scroll, its just the the image is not scaling to the monitor.
The story goes a bit like this. Having only ever used gaming gpu's, I went on the Nvidia website, choose the correct settings for the driver I needed and downloaded the 'graphics' driver.
This was still exibiting the same problems as I describe above.
Then I unsitalled a few times and keep trying, obviously all the settings are correct as far as I can tell for the monitor and the Nvidia control panel.
So then I unistalled again, and check windows update. Here I knowticed it offered me 1. the driver for my monitor and 2. the 'Performance' drivers from Nvidia, so I let it install them, and hey presto BANG, my desktop was back working again! Woo I thought, cracked it.
However, reboot the computer, or let it go to sleep and the desktop loses its scaleing again!
Anyway to fix this, other than unistall the driver and reinstall ever time I want to use the pc?
this is the problem in a nutshell:
