Windows Start-up Problem

I've just got a new (second-hand) laptop; a Toshiba Libretto. While getting things sorted out on it, I had a problem with the start-up; it just died in the middle of it. I managed to start it in Safe Mode, access Windows Help, do what they said - run it in diagnostic mode etc, and to cut a longish story short, it all works fine now...almost! Just one thing. Whenever I start, it goes to the page asking you what kind of start-up you want, when I tell it "Normal", it starts, but doesn't use the whole screen...you know how in Safe Mode part of the screen at both sides is blank; well, like that. The Libretto screen is small enough without making it even smaller!!! I've tried Windows Help again, but had no luck this time. Has anyone any idea how I can get my whole screen back again?
