This is my stupid question for April!

A friend has just bought a used computer from someone I know (who says he doesn't sell rubbish:confused: ),

Everything is fine except for the fact that she can't fit all of the screen on the screen. The taskbar clock is always off the edge of the screen - or the start button if she moves it the other way.

Is this cureable with Windows settings because the buttons on the monitor to squish the display don't seem to do the job?

(The friend(?) who doesn't sell rubbish sold her a USB modem with the system, it refused to work so I had to fit an internal one which works fine).

It may be that the desktop size is set differently to the screen resolution? Are there options for this under Display Properties/Settings/Advanced? Some video cards and systems allow you to resize the desktop - laptops and multiscreen displays usually.
