Desktop too small with black band around it

[Mercury]

I'm setting up an old computer to give to a friend.

Computer: Celeron
OS: Win 98
Graphics driver: SIS 620 on the motherboard
Monitor: old CTX

The green desktop has a 1" black band around it so isn't maximized on the screen.

The monitor will adjust for height but not width.

Any ideas how to maximize it so the desktop will fill the screen?

Whats the screen resolution set to ?

Some of the Older CRT's dont like the tighter resolution, try 800 x 600 and see if that will allow the resizing from the control buttons on the CRT.

Resolution is 800 x 600. Have checked advanced properties but still can't find a setting to change.

Have tried another of our old monitors - same problem.

Graphics drivers all up to date?

Have used original disk. Am on the net now trying to find if there is an update somewhere.

Have seen it where the Old CRT is Nackered and wont adjust any more.

Are you able to attach to another PC to see if its the same. ?
