New srceen,smaller picture

I installed a new screen in my Acer travelmate 4200, and when I first started it up it was fine. Now the picture only fills about 3/4s of the way across it. ????????????????

Check display settings in BIOS setup. Also check display properties in Windows (see Control Panel). Make changes if necessary.

If no adjustments can be made anymore in Display Properties or in BIOS settings then try installing video drivers and try with the Display Properties again.
