1. OK
That might be due to the screen resolution. You can change that under the control panel then display.

2. Is it an LCD or CRT screen?
I ask because LCD screens have fixed resolutions they work in, if you change it to an unsupported resolution, weird shit happens.

6. Do you have a flatscreen, only inches thick?
A CRT screen is like a television screen, with a tube, etc. a flatscreen is either an LCD screen or plasma.
