I have a Gateway MT6723 laptop with a 15" widescreen display. My video drivers are installed and my optimal resolution is set, (1280x800). However, my upper taskbar won't expand to the full length of my screen;

Also I have already checked the "expand" option under the panel's properties... Any suggestions? Btw, this actually isn't the only minor glitch with my display. there are a couple other things like my login screen not fitting the entire screen, and glitchy screensavers. Not a big deal but any help would be nice. Thanks!
EDIT/SOLVED: i noticed my Monitor Resolution Settings displayed two different screens, my laptop's 15" one and another unknown display. i simply set the unknown one's resolution to Off and it fixed my problem.
