That's called overscan.  You need to adjust the display to reduce the amount of overscan being applied.  When you use the TV out on a video card, there are typically options for setting this up.  When outputting via the VGA I'm not sure what the most popular software to use is.  I used a software called "Power <something>" when I was setting this up way back when...I just can't remember what that <something> is anymore.

EUREKA!!!  It was called PowerStrip.  Here's a link:

i had the latest catalyst driver installed, but because soft15 needs catalyst driver 6.5 i changed it.

Uninstall the drivers and go again.  You shouldn't need to reinstall windows because of this.  If something stays after uninstall, try safe mode.
