Odos270 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) I was having several issues so I did a full reset of Windows 8.1 (that was a nightmare). When I went to update, it offered me Windows 10. I bit the bullet and did it. The exact same thing happened this time as the first time (which is why I reverted back to 8.1). On the desktop, if I place icons to either side or top, they're half off the screen. The taskbar is messed up too. I put Classic Shell back in so that I have a start menu more in tune with Windows 7. Now I can only see a sliver of the start button. The clock is half off the screen. If I choose to show icons on the taskbar, they are below the taskbar. Same goes for icons in the quick launch bar. I didn't have this problem with 8. Any menu that's taller than the screen I can't see and there's no scroll to see the upper end. If I maximize the browser, the minimize, maximize and close buttons are off the screen. I'm using the recommended screen resolution. 1920x1080. I'm using a 32" 720p TV as my monitor. It's plugged in with an HDMI cable. There are no settings to change the display in the TV. Screen shot? Yeah right. When I do a screen shot, it shows everything as it should look, not what I'm actually seeing. Here's the left side of the taskbar. Here's the right side. This is what happens to icons on the desktop. Computer specs: Processor: AMD FX-6200 (3.8GHz) Processor Core: Six-Core Memory: 10GB DDR3 (PC3-12800) Graphics: Eyefinity Radeon HD 7570 (2GB DDR3 dedicated) Video Ports: HDMI, DVI, Display Port I can't find an updated driver. AMD conciders the video card 'legacy'. Driver Provider: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Driver Date: 6/22/2015 Driver Version: 15.200.1045.0 edit to add: Version of Windows is 64bit Edited June 2, 2016 by Odos270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 for quick launch, try to unlock it and drag to the right, as toolbars actually control the height of taskbar in previous win's if you give QL icons "big icon" view which is some 38px if i'm not mistaken (instead 32), it bumps taskbar to higher height and you can't lower it, in your case giving it more space (worm like) maybe it will fix the right side too...

Odos270 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 OK, mark as solved. Finally found a setting in the TV and that changed the way the screen is displayed. Looks normal now. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
