QB45-XP-LCD screen

After several years, I've rediscovered my QB45. I want to write a couple of very simple pgms to help my wife back up some spreadsheets.
Before I can get back to re-learning QuickBasic, I have a small nagging problem- when I use Alt-Enter, the screen expands, but it's not centered!
I'm losing a couple of characters at the right edge of the screen.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I have that problem too. I don't write in QB anymore but it also happens in low-res FB fullscreens. I don't know of any solution but I only miss out on half a character. Try the settings for the program's MS-DOS console or possibly change you monitors settings.

It's the LCD screen that does it. My LCD monitor has an "AUTO" button, which will align the image correctly. If your screen doesn't have such a button, try going through the on-screen menu on it.

I had a problem with printing to line 25 in Windows (in a Window). I fixed it by setting a specific font (10x25 or something) insteading of letting Windows default to "Auto" font. I wonder if that would help in this situation?

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions.

I'll try to approach it methodically and see what results are.
I am a little concerned that changes in the "DOS" screen may change my (acceptable) Windows screens.
