Some programs (particularly games) change the screen resolution for the best display. The maximum screen size that can be displayed (completely) is either 1024x600 or 1366x768 depending on the exact model you have.
To change the screen
1. Right click your mouse in the desktop background photo and select "Properties"
2. Left click on the "Settings" tab at the top
3. A little way more than half way down the window you will see the "Screen resolution" slider. I would reduce it to 1024x600 and click the [Apply] button at the bottom of the window.
4. The screen will change, and you will be asked if this is the resolution you want. If it is click yes and click [OK] button to exit.
This should have you fixed up. You can play with this control and see what resolution you like the best.
