How to disable desktop / window scrolling?

[Extraordinary]

For the last 15 years of computers I have never run into this problem.

My desktop does not fit on one screen. I need to scroll left and right to see the rest of it, and I do not like it this way. I turned off my computer then turned it back on to find it like this... resolution and everything are the same.

Using a ATI 8500LE 128mb video card W/ Dell 24" Widescreen monitor, 1,920 x 1,200 resolution....

Thanks!

Just wanted to add that I have been using this monitor for like 2 years, and this video card, and computer for the same amount of time with no problems. If I change resolutions it still does the same thing, unless I go into some very low resolution. The highest resolution that does not allow scrolling is 1,600 x 1,200 I believe... but I want my 1,920 x 1,200 back!

is your monitor refresh set too high?
to get 1900x1200, the specifications say the refresh maximum is 100Hz, otherwise it'll go to virtual desktop.

On my monitor menu for the 2405FPW it says:

Main: 1: D-SUB

Resolution 1600x1200 60hz
Optimum 1920x1200 60hz

dont know how to adjust anything... but i never did change anything...

What does the monitor default to now?
Is that the maximum now?
Are there any other resolutions missing?
What are the temps on the mem/core for the video card?
Are all fans working, dust free, as normal?
Correct voltages?
No physical damage, burnt capacitors/PCB?

Update drivers?
RivaTuner or PowerStrip manually force resolution?


Last resort: uninstall drivers, restart, load default vga/win driver, clean registry of ATI, restart, ensure clean registry and reinstall new drivers, then restart.
