This happens when you have selected more than one display mode during the installation and haven't selected the largest resolution as the default: the virtual desktop is as large as the largest resolution selected, but you can view it only through a default-resolution-sized "window".<BR /><BR />If so, try holding down Ctrl and Alt and pressing the + key on the numeric keypad: this should change the display resolution, allowing you to see more of the display. There may be several modes available: press the above-mentioned key combination again until you see as much of the desktop as possible (preferably, the whole desktop).<BR /><BR />Then use the desktop configuration tools to make the new configuration permanent. If you have selected any display resolutions your display device can't handle, disable those completely. Make the largest working resolution the default one. If unsure, select only the display resolution you wish to use: this should automatically disable the "scrolling virtual desktop" mode.<BR /><BR />After making the changes, log out and press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace: this will restart the X server with the new default settings.
