    I've just upgraded to Windows 7 and my laptop display now won't fill the screen. There is a large black area on the right hand side and the resolution only goes to 1024 x 768 where as before i'm sure that it was better than this.

    The laptop is widescreen but there is no option to set it to this.

    The driver that is installed is Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family.

    Just found the problem. Dismantled the laptop and found one of the ribbon connectors had come unseated. Put it back in the socket and all working great... :)
