MBP, Vista, 1920x1080 = Screen won't stretch all the way?

Hey all. Quick question. When I boot up in Vista on my MBP, for some reason the screen will not stretch the full length of my monitor, just end a tad shy on all sides. Also, it doesn't seem nearly as crisp as it does with OS X. Anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem? Thanks so much!

Sounds like there was a problem with the video driver installation in bootcamp. Those are all symptoms of driver issues.
 
Hm...I don't think that's it. When I go into the Display Settings, it says the current display is #1 of 2, recognizing that #2 is my closed MBP. I'm trying to get it to just be #1 monitor as recognized in clamshell mode.
 
Is 1920x1080 the native resolution of your external display?
Does your mbp have the ati card or nvidia card?
