I installed windows 8(64 Bit) yesterday and after that my screen is off center. I have tried all the resolution settings it offers, i have reinstalled the drivers as well.
I have upgraded from Windows &(32 Bit). I'm using a Samsung LCD, which doesn't have the menu to adjust display.
Please help.

What I can make out from samsung support website searching for the model present in your siggy that there's some software named MagicTune for doing all these things. I think you might have installed it, else go to samsung website and download it. I hope this link helps.

Missed it, but monitor without a button, that's like a pant without a belt, can't help you there.

If you were using nVidia I could give instructions to calibrate monitor from control panel, not sure how its done in Intel.

^ Samsung's advertising the MagicTune Software as a step ahead than hardware menu buttons.
@ OP: As per the user's manual, did you try Image>Position to adjust the Horizontal and Vertical location of the screen?

Honestly i didn't notice that it doesn't have menu buttons and yeah well it seems that i'm gonna reinstall win7... I'll probably try & read about dual boot and see if thats gonna work...
