    So I'm using somebody else's A100 at the moment, and it seems to be utilizing only about half the screen space... Like right now I have an Explorer window in the middle of the screen about 12" wide with wide black margins on both side of it which the cursor wouldn't even move into. I'm pretty sure this is not how it's supposed to work, is there any way to modify that?

    You can change the settings in either the Control Panel-Display Settings or nVidia Control Panel.

    In Windows XP: Right-click on the desktop, open properties. On the far right tab, set the resolution to 1280x800

    In Windows Vista: Right-click on the desktop, open personalize. At the bottom of the page there is a link to Display settings. Open that and set the resolution to 1280x800.

    Hope this helps
