Try...
Right-clicking on the background.. click properties. click settings, adjust the screen area to 1024 x 768? :) Let me know how it goes x

Nope that doesnt work, it is still set at that

When did it go like that? Was it after you booted up?

[samantha nixon]

It started happening about 3 days ago but wouldnt happen every time i put it on, but since yesterday it has been happening every time i put it on, and is as soon as the startup screen is on

You tried running a virus check? Sorry if I appear patronising, you all know a lot more about IT than I do. :D

Try using one of the desktops that came with the laptop

[samantha nixon]

yep ive done a virus scan and no problems there

and i have just set it to a custom background and it still has the black down the side

a message came up when my sister was looking at it and it was something like intel graphics driver, but a solution couldnt be found

Try reinstalling the graphics drivers

Can you take it back to the shop to see if they can repair it. When I got Marley's laptop at xmas I pay an extra £7 a month to PC World that way if anything is wrong they will repair it or replace it for free.

and it is still under warantee, so i can take it back, its just i need my laptop at the minute as im doing exams so would rather try and sort it out without having to take it in, as they had mine for ages last time it got sent in

Go into the control panel and click system then click hardware
then click device manager then click graphics drivers:)
