Laptop Monitor smashed, need to resize viewable area

[gihandes]

hi
i have a hp laptop and am running win xp home ed.
while ago i managed to drop the laptop and the monitor is damaged and 1/3rd of the monitor on the right side is not viewble, tried to fix is but it costs heaps and i could almost buy another laptop with that amount

anywyas here is my question
is there any utility whihc can resize my screen to be displayed in the remaining 2/3rds of the screen
so i will have a relatively smaller display area but still can work with it

pls pls help as i cant afford to buy a new one Smiley
oh and i dont mind if the utility is in windows or linux os

thanks in advance
