XP Desktop Bigger Than Laptop Screen When Not In Docking Station
Thank you for looking at my question,
A colleague from another site has just brought me this problem - when he is on our site the desktop on his (Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook) laptop is bigger than the screen but when he is based at his office and the machine is in a docking station the desktop fits the screen.
Why should this be and how could I fix it?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

you need to change the desktop screen resolution when the laptop is not attached to the docking station.

That was the first thing I tried but the next step down in terms of screen resolution is way smaller than the screen size.

He uses the laptop screen when it is on the docking station - not another screen attached to the docking station.
