Yes it is possible to remove them , what you have there is called the "overscan" problem.

There should be a utility in your graphics card drive software to correct this. You dont post what card you have , so cant help any further.

Google either catalyst overscan utility if you have an AMD/ATi card , or Nvidia overscan utility if you have an nvidia card , to find out how to correct this.
