Upgrading from Me to XP

Hi, I have just upgraded from Me to XP but this has resulted in a desktop image which does not fill the notebook wide screen.

Can anyone help to correct this this?

Have you installed all the XP Drivers from here: -

Looks like you need most of the XP software on this page - particularly the Video Chip Drivers for your ATI Rage Mobility-M1!

You may also have to set the Screen Resolution to 1024 X 480 in Display Properties -> Settings

The operating system will...........

Any suggestions?????
