   In Windows XP including all 32-bit Windows, console full screen mode uses   
   text video mode. That video mode is not a graphic video mode, and it has its   
   own screen resolution. It's similar to the text video mode at the BIOS   
   startup screen during computer boot.   
      
   To solve it, apply the Auto function of your monitor. But do that after   
   you've changed the background color to other than black using the COLOR   
   command. e.g. "COLOR F0" for black text on white background. When done,   
   retore the color back to "COLOR 07" for grey text on black background. This   
   is necessary, since the monitor's Auto function detects the pixels which   
   aren't black, in order to determine the screen size and adjust the view   
   dimension and position.
