Is this a technical question :-)
The most likely SIMPLE explanation is that your monitor needs adjusting.
Just move the horizontal and vertical sizes to taste.
My guess is that you have a good display with A.N.Other's OS.
The display position on the screen and it's size WILL change from OS to OS, and
NO! I don't know why.
