Weird Problem with my LCD

[NivekC4]

I just reformatted my computer today and something really weird happened with my LCD display.

My LCD is a 17'' Kogi (from CompUSA) and I've been using it for about 2 months now without any problem, but after I reformatted today and reinstalled everything, when I run in the native resolution (1280x1024), it will stop displaying from about 2 inches from the right frame. It's like the monitor thinks the boundaries of my monitor stop 2 inches earlier than it really does.

THe weird thing is, I can chance to 1024 x 768 and it'll display on the full LCD. My graphics card is a Radeon 8500LE 64mb, and right now i'm running the current driver off of their site. I am also running Windows XP (nothing different from before I reformatted).

Any suggestions on how to fix this or things to try will GREATLY be appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out for the past 2 hours.

Thanks

i just tried my monitor on my roommates laptop, and i get the same results at 1280x1024 and the empty space moves farther towards the center of the screen when i go to a higher resolution.

Is it possible for my LCD to "remember" incorrectly the boundaries?

I don't have much experience with LCDs but on my CRT when you change resolution the image does shift. This also happens when you change the refresh rate. I would try changing the refresh rate and see if the image goes to the centre. It's probably going too low for the native resolution. Make sure that you have the right INFs installed. This could be why it's operating at a lower refresh rate.
