    Up until yesterday I had my computer hooked up to my 32" HDTV by Component cables. And it worked fine.

    I installed a new programe, which then said I needed to update my graphics card drivers.

    Which I did. So, new graphics drivers from Nvidia.

    Now for some reason I have a black border all the way around my screen.

    I've tried changing the Resoloution, running the TV optimisation wizard and also manualy altering the "HDTV Screen size" ... Yet none of it worked.

    I've maxed the "Desktop Resize" function. But theres still a good inch of black border.

    I never used to have this. Any ideas?

    I've tried connecting by HDMI cable and it reverts back to a full screen desktop. (Although I dont want to connect via HDMI as theres no audio)

    Any suggestions would be hugely aprecaited

    Many thanks.

    P.S. Hurry please

    tombowler,

    I sounds like underscan. Perhaps your component port lost its settings when reconnecting. Make sure it (component port on TV) is set to 1 to 1 or Pixel mode. Additionally, make sure your desktop is set to the TVs native resolution. Probably on 32" HDTV (LCD? Make? Model?) it should be 1366x768. Some TVs may only accept 720p (1280x720) and upscale to its native resolution.

    To account for you border, I'm guessing your TV has a native resolution of 1366x768, your component port is set to 1to1/Pixel mode and your desktop is set to 1280x720. I'd go for setting your desktop to 1366x768 as I mentioned above.
    Have a good one,

    neomaine

    Need more data about your TV and/or monitor (native resolution? connection resolution?).

    Is this a dual computer monitor - TV mode or clone?
