Laptop Not Fullscreen

I have an old Dell Latitude laptop, and a strange thing happened at some point in the last few months.
When the laptop boots, and when it's running Windows, the laptop is not fullscreen (unless it's at the native resolution of the screen, which is 1024x768). It's the actual resolution that it's set at. ie. if it's at 640x480, a 640x480 image is shown in the center of the screen. Normally, that would be blown up to the size of the screen.
Like I said, it does this during boot (when the resolution isn't 1024x768) or when it's not set to the fullscreen resolution in Windows.
It's not really a big deal, but I've gotten a little curious. I can't find a setting in the BIOS or anything. It's probably something simple that I missed / don't know. Anyone know what this is?

Not completly sure about this. But it could be the videocard driver, or Windows own "video support driver" (The one Windows uses when no third party driver is installed) is beeing corrupt in some way?

I have a latitude c610. Does the same thing on occasion. Only does it during bootup and is fine in once the GUI starts up.
Anyway if it's a big deal, check for a BIOS update. Another thing you might try is disabling quick bootup. Personally I would just leave it if it's not hurting you. If it's the same thing mine does, it's fine once windows or linux is booted up.

Something similar happens on my desktop PC since it takes all of a second and a half for Windows to find my ATI card properly. While as it returns to full screen after the boot is complete it should not be a major problem.
