My dispaly window now has a black border all the way
around it of about 1.5 inches...on both the lcd of my VAio
and the external monitor..but get this, if I take the
laptop off the docking station and reboot it will come up
in full screen. any body, please, any ideas? or even where
to look
 
I have a Sony VAIO that does something like this. It's
a "feature" related to setting a lower resolution than
the one the LCD screen is "intended" for.

I'm not sure what relation it would have to docking,
however, unless that changed your desktop resolution, for
some reason.

In case it helps, here's what works for me:

If (assuming you are using a VAIO) you right-click the
desktop, choose Properties, the Settings tab, and the
Advanced button, you should be able to find an "Expand"
checkbox. That will "stretch" the low-res screen to fit
the screen size. However, some of your fonts may look
really funny.

Or, you can set your desktop resolution to 1024x768, and
it will look OK.
