[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 983201, member: 24160"] It is a resolution problem. You need to change it to match the resolution of the Toshiba. Your apps (a lot of them) remember what size you had them set when you last opened them. So, if for example you have Safari set to open basically at full screen on a MBP at 1440x900, it is going to open at 1440x900 even though your desktop on the TV is only 800x600. Some windows will resize automatically to fit within the screen of the new smaller resolution. You'll find that many will not. There should be a section in your Toshiba owners manual listing the resolutions acceptable via it's VGA input. [/QUOTE]
