What is the current setting for the screen area? You can check your system
documentation to see what screen areas should be supported, and if you can't
select a supported size then you probably need to install the correct video
drivers for the video display adapter installed in the machine.

I think it's more a matter of centering the screen image on the
monitor, using the monitor's controls, and then sizing it to fill the
screen area.  This doesn't have much to do with anything you keyboard
or mouse-click from the PC itself.

Monitors have evolved through three ages:

1)  Those that offer no control at all

The earliest monitors had no way to adjust the image other than
"brightness" and "contrast".  14" monitors of this age will often fail
to support refresh rates over 60Hz for 800x600 too.

2)  Those with analog controls

These controls are easy to use - clearly-marked knobs or wheels by
which you can move the image from side to side or up and down, and
then others that you use to stretch the image so it fills the screen.

3)  Those with digital controls

These are more fiddly; a matter of pressing buttons and/or turning
wheels to do the same thing.  The advantage is that the setting syou
create are stored in the monitor's settings memory, and re-applied
whenever that screen mode and refresh rate is invoked.

To clarify that point; each time the screen changes resolution (number
of dots the screen image area is divided into), color depth or refresh
rate, the image may change its position and size.  

On category (1) and (2) monitors, you may want to try different modes
to see which ones best fit the screen's natural image geometry.  It's
your only choice with type (1), and saves knob-twiddling on (2).
