actually, the Intel graphics is exactly what I have. I actually went to the Intel website and look. I ran that exact same utility that you were referring to. I had the most up-to-date driver. it's not a matter of needing to stretch the screen to the full view, it's a matter that over scanning needs to be disabled entirely. I'm not exactly sure what that exactly means, but I have been told by looking on Google, as well as other friends that this is what needs to happen. please forgive any typing errors. I am in the car right now, and in doing this via voice dictation.
