Second monitor screen resolution problem

Hi,

For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:

• 
  Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
  
• 
  When did the issue first begin?
  
• 
  To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
  

In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

We look forward to your response.

 

Black space in maximum resolution?

I recently upgraded a Dell Dimension E520 from XP to Windows 10. I'm having trouble getting an Acer AL2016W monitor to fit in its maximum resolution of 1680x1050. When i choose this resolution in the Display Settings, the screen is pushed to the right and a black space remains on the left. I tried moving the screen over using the monitors' settings but it slips under the space, and only moves a quarter of the way. The mouse cannot move into this space either.

I tried updating the drivers but am told "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date."

• Display adapter - Intel(R) G965 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
• Monitor - Generic Non-PnP Monitor

I took a pic of the screen.. sorry for the bad lighting, I highlighted the space in red
