scaling

I'm going mad here trying to solve this one. I'm new to Windows 7. I've just installed it 3 weeks ago, and I'm still in the process of installing all my software and small mini-games (shooters, arkanoid-type stuff, bejeweled, etc). I've had virtually no trouble getting my applications to run...

1920x1080 Rez won't fill screen; ATI 4800 card When I'm set at 'optimum display settings' (1920 x 1080) a ~1" black frame surrounds the display, and text looks funky suggesting the picture is being artificially scaled down for some reason. This doesn't happen when I lower my resolution to 1440...

Hi, all. After installing Windows 7 RC1 I found that its Remote Desktop client lacks my favorite screen resolution 1152x864. After 1024x768 goes 1280x760, then 1280x1024. I have screen resolution 1280x1024 in the office and 1400x1050 at home, so having two-three overlapping Remote Desktop...

I discovered the other day that my Dell Latitude D400 (Intel 855GM chipset) was not being throttled back to 600Mhz when the load on the CPU was low. Instead it was pegged at 1700Mhz. Unfortunately it looks like Windows 7 doesn't support CPU scaling on the Centrino / Pentium M based systems...
