I have W7 and an HP 6130Y. It's got a nVidia G-Force 220 card which may not make a difference, I think.

I bought an Insignia 46" LED HDTV and hooked the computer up to it via VGA. The resolution is on it's highest quality setting as it should be. My main start window/page along with any window I open extends slightly beyond the screen on top and bottom. For example, my bottom task bar goes below the screen and my icons up top do the same.

I had other TV's set at the highest resolution with no issues. They included a 55" and a 37". Don't know why this time there is a problem. I fiddled around to see if I could resolve it; including the TV's settings along with the nVidia settings. I just can't figure it out.

Can anyone help me? I'm sure this is something simple and I'll look like a clown, but that's ok. I tried my luck with another popular tech support forum with no luck and decided to join this one.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

The shape of the screen is a factor here (ie it's width to height ratio), not just it's diagonal screen size.
If your graphics card cannot match the resolution or height/width ratio of the screen, you will get the problem you describe.

Another problem I have experienced with TV screens in the past is that some TVs cut off a small boarder around the TV to remove the so-called edge effects that can be caused with sub-par equipment or poorly encoded video. There may be a setting on the TV to enable/disable this "feature".
