Set your Windows resolution to match the native dimensions of the LCD. e.g. For a Dell D620 with the widescreen display, 1280x800. If Windows didn't do that automatically, it quite possibly didn't load the display driver, go to the maker of the laptop's website and download the display driver from them.
