Whenever I set resolution to 1280x720, left and right areas of the
desktop in Vista get cut-off, so I can see only a part of the "Start"
button. However, when I play Blu-Ray full screen (using HP Smart DVD
player), it shows the frame correctly. Is there an easy fix?

HP Pavilion Slimline s3750t PC with
- Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
- 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350
- Epson Powerlite 720

Use the buttons and dials on the front of your monitor to shrink
the image. They're labeled something like "horizontal size/position".
Sometimes you can do this in software if your video drivers support it.
Look at control panel -> display -> properties -> advanced.

On my monitor I have to go into the settings and change the aspect ratio
from 16 : 9, or 4 : 3 to an aspect ratio of 1 : 1.

Gary, is this on Vista? I can't find any setting which lets me specify
"aspect ratio"

No it would be a button on your monitor.

Thanks, this was indeed the issue of the projector fixed by adjusting
Overscan/Output Scaling settings
