My computer screen is smaller then the monitor. There is about an inch of black surrounding the screen. It was displaying fine yesterday with my current set up but i had to do the factory restore thing and now it is displaying with the black edges.

First make sure dispplay screen resolution is set to 1024*768 .
For that go to start ->control panel->display->setings set screen resolution to 1024*768 then apply .
If it is already set to 1024*768 then press menu button of monitor and increase horizontal and vertical position also put the picture in center first then increase both H and V position then it will give good display.
Also make sure display driver installed and working fine.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.
