Display area is too small on windows with bootcamp

My 1920x1080 display is shrunk (appears small with a black border around it) on windows with bootcamp, but looks fine on the mac side.
I'm going from the macpro display port converted to hdmi and plugged into the hdmi plug on a dell P2413T monitor which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
I'm using bootcamp with windows 7 home premium. Radeon 5870 card
All my ati drivers are updated. I took the time to update them all.  The dell drivers are updated also.
The monitor looks great on the mac side. On the pc side it is shrunk so there is a black border of 3/4 inch or so around the edges. It also looks odd.
How do I resolve this. Is it a problem with the hdmi connector, the graphics card, bootcamp, windows?

There are overscan/underscan settings in OSX for 1080p displays.
OS X Yosemite: If the picture doesn’t fill the TV screen
Learn about overscan and underscan - Apple Support
Look in Display Advanced settings in Control Panel.
Can you try a DVI connector?

  • How do I make icons bigger? All icons are way too small for speedy use. no matter what I do they remain too small. Is there a way of getting them the same size as previous versions?

    All icons, such as refresh page, back, forward, stop and home etc; are just too small for comfortable use. For now I am uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3.x. even the zoom page icons are too small.

    "I had read that GarageBand or the Musical Typing there can sometimes not display properly when the resolution is changed."
    Well, did you checked GB after you changed your resolution?
    Which setting did you change to?
    You & I have the same size iMac screen. My resolution setting is 1280x800. Everything fits perfectly in the windows & on desktop including the menu bar.
    All info in my windows are showing. I did not need to adjust my browser font size settings. I am sure you are aware of the browser font size settings. I use FF & the settings are in Preferences>Content.
    In the Finder window you can enlarge the icons & fonts also.

  • Font Size too small to work with

    In the code view, the Font Size is too small to work with and the zoom in/out and magnification are grayed out.
    How do I increase the font size so I can see what I'm doing?
    Many thanks!

    Edit > Preferences > Fonts > Code View.
    HINT:  If you switch between Western European and Unicode, be sure to set-up font-sizes for both.

    are some settings that may help.
    There are other settings there ...they may not be to your liking but try them all anyways.
    But that's about all you can do for now...except to voice your opinion to Apple here:

  • The photos are far too small on Ipad ?

    I need to find out why the photos are way too small on the Ipad.  I used a filter on a photo then sent it to a friend .  Way to small to use for any purpose.
    any way to make larger? 

    I have the same problem and cannot tackle it down yet. Using handbrake and itunes to sync movies and the subtitles are very small.
    Hope someone could help.

  • Printing of the image display area is to small 2 read large displays

    Printing of the image display area is to small to read on some large displays
    Need to restrict the image resizing in generating the print output to a minimum size (to allow it to be readable) and allow the printed output to flow into a multiple pages wide by multiple pages in length if necessary. Currently it is restricted to one page.
    below is the code
    *public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) throws PrinterException {*
    if (pageIndex != 0)
    return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;

    pageFormat.getImageableX(),
    pageFormat.getImageableY(),
    pageFormat.getImageableWidth(),
    pageFormat.getImageableHeight()
    *// Print the header and reduce the height for printing*
    float headerHeight = printHeader(printBounds, g2d);
    printBounds.y += headerHeight;
    printBounds.height -= headerHeight;
    *// Carve off the amount of space needed for the footer*
    printBounds.height -= getFooterHeight(g2d);
    *// Print the nodes and edges*
    printDisplay( printBounds, g2d, 0 );
    *if (footer != null) {*
    printBounds.y += (printBounds.height + 15);
    printFooter(printBounds, g2d);
    return PAGE_EXISTS;
    =================================
    *protected void printDisplay( Rectangle2D.Double printBounds, Graphics2D g2d, double margin ) {*
    *// Get a rectangle that represents the bounds of all of the DisplayEntities*
    Rectangle r = null;
    *for (Enumeration e=displayManager.getEntitySet().getEntityEnumerati on();e.hasMoreElements();) {*

    if (r == null)
    r = de.getBounds();

    *// Get that as doubles, rather than ints, and expand by half the margin*
    *// height in all directions*
    Rectangle2D.Double entityBounds = new Rectangle2D.Double(r.x,r.y,r.width,r.height);
    entityBounds.x -= margin/2;

  • After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

    after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • For the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    for the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    Then you might check at any of the other university book stores or software stores or any computer store in town for the 64-bit version.
    If you want to use the 32-bit version from the school (you probably get it for free or very cheap) then you could purchase Parallels and run it as a virtual machine concurrently with OS X. There are some caveats:
    1. You have to purchase Parallels (there may be an academic discount.) List is $79.95.
    2. Your computer needs minimally 4 GBs of RAM, but realistically 8 GBs would be better.
    3. Parallels creates a pseudo-drive on your hard drive. It could easily require 50 GBs of disk space.
    Accommodating these might be more costly than buying 64-bit Windows 7. And, if you look online you may find them with an academic discount (or may be able to order it through the school.)

  • If i download windows with bootcamp does that mean i can still use Macintosh and if so how

    if i download windows with bootcamp does that mean i can still use Macintosh and if so how

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you installed Windows properly, you can still start in OS X and use it whenever you want. However, Boot Camp changes the startup partition to Windows, so you may note that you can't use Mac OS X.
    There are two ways of starting in OS X:
    1. Hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting until you see all the bootable partitions in the screen, and choose your OS X partition.
    2. Hold the X key while your computer is starting.
    If you have a iMac or a Bluetooth keyboard, make sure you hold the key after hearing the startup chime.
    If you want to start in OS X by default, after starting in OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X partition

  • HT5639 Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed

    Will running windows with bootcamp effect my macbook pro's overall speed ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In some cases, there may be slowness in OS X because of the lack of free space. However, you shouldn't note this and in most of cases, performance is the same in Windows and OS X after installing Windows, more in the case of a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    The only thing you have to worry is to give Windows the necessary space. The MacBook Pro with Retina display hasn't got a lot of storage

  • Photoshop CS6 Menus and Icons too small on Windows 8.1 with 4K UHD display

    Hello,
    So I have seen that I am not the first one to ask this question, but I have yet to find any true resolutions.  I recently bought anew laptop, a Lenovo with a 4K UHD display which I already love for so many things.  But, like a few other programs, the high resolution means the icons and menu text of PS CS6 are incredibly small, which may be alright on a TV, but on a laptop screen, it make it incredibly difficult to work.  I have tried all sorts of different approaches in Windows, such as changing the OS font sizes and icon sizes, which do indeed change everything else on the computer, but PS is still the same tiny size.  I have also increased the text size under the interface preferences to large, but with little real change.  I understand why this is happening, but I am hoping that there is some sort of workaround, beyond just bumping down my screen resolution, which defeats the whole purpose of using UHD to edit photos.  I have heard rumors of being able to code in some UI changes manually, but have found no concrete examples of how to actually do that. 
    I am sure that it would not take Adobe too much time and effort to create an update to help with scaling, but they are very set on pushing forward with Creative Clound, leaving the rest of us loyal customers to the dust until we pay up.  If anyone has found any resolutions or workarounds, I'd really appreciate it.  Thank you. 

    Well other than that, I can't offer anything else as a forum volunteer. I have no idea if anything, what Adobe plans to do for CS6.
    I do know that Photoshop CC 2014 has a 200% ui feature for Windows and you might like the Photography Plan which for $10 monthly includes Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom for $10/month.
    You can trial CC 2014 to see if it does solve your situation
