Default Scrolling desktop....

I just did a re-image on a machine and now the desktop seems to be too big for the monitor. The whole desktop is there but I have to move the mouse to the left/right/up/down edge of the screen and it will "scroll" and let me see the rest of the desktop. How do I fix this?

Change your resolution to something else and then change it back to the proper resolution.

Yeah, noob mistake. I just didn't think that that machine had such high resolution settings available.

Sometimes what happens is that if you have a TV hooked up it will use that Resolution which might not match that of the monitor. So that can also create the scrolling as well.
