Left margin off screen

I'm new to Mac. Pls help. When I turn it on initially, the screen looks fine, but whenever I go to any application, the left margin shifts and is off screen. It doesn't matter what resolution I select or what application I go to. It's almost like it changes to a landscape mode and no longer fits the screen. No problem with the right margin.

macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Hey Itmacnewbie and welcome to the forum -

The left margin of the Menu Bar and Dock or the left side of the windowed application that is open?

If it's the window of the application, resize it to fit onto your desktop area by grabbing the bottom right corner where there are 3-4 diagonal lines and click and drag to adjust the size. Move the entire window by grabbing the top of the window (gray area) and click drag it to the right.

Perhaps you can get a feel for navigation with this: [Mac 101|http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/tour> or if you know your way around a pc but have recently switched to Mac, you can check this: [Switch 101|http://www.apple.com/support/switch101>

Hope this helps -GDF
