How do I adjust the monitor on a Dell laptop?

Hi,

I have a used Dell Latitude PCH laptop. It's working fine but the display
is doesn't fill the screen, it's only about half the size it should be. I
don't have the manual for the computer and I have no idea how to access the
controls (I'm new to laptops).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron

You're not running it at the right resolution. Right click on the desktop,
choose settings, and increase the resolution. It will only run at one
resolution, the one it is designed for.

I had a similiar problem, and a downloaded video driver fixed it.
