Hello new here with questions

I am not sure where to post my questions so I guess i will start here.
I did look around but could not find any answers.
here are my questions:
l. I have lost something because my resolutiong will only set on 640-800 and my screen doesn't fit the area it is to large.
2. I also have very small black lines going from the bottom of the screen to the middle on the screen.
Here is a little background, that may be helpful.
My computer crashed about a week ago so i am using my daugthers laptop. It is thinkpad 1400/1500(2521) It is running Windows ME.
Please direct me if there is any help.
Thank you for your time.

Why the join date in his/her in the upper right corner is 2004?
So meaning he joined 2004 and post today? or because of the computer date/time or what???
