screen-resolution

I have a new Windows 7 64-bit machine with an ATI HD4350 card. The card is connected via VGA (DSUB) to a SyncMaster 205 BW LCD monitor.

If I set the resolution to 1680x1050 the LCD screen is completely filled and everything looks fine.

But, if I try to set the resolution to 1280x768 (my preferred resolution) only about 2/3 of the monitor screen is used. There are large black bars above and below the image (but not on the sides).

I have successfully used this monitor at the 1280x768 resolution for many years without this problem (albeit in Windows XP and a different video card).

Can anyone suggest how I can get adjust things so that the entire screen is used at the 1280x768 resolution?
