    I have an Acer A1 with an LG monitor as the main monitor. Not using the A1 screen at all. I have to set the aspect ratio (I think I'm using the right term, eh?) from reboot to reboot. :confused: It's always too large. Can't understand why it's always the same wrong one and I can't get the right one to stay. 1280x768, x960 and x1024 works. But it always comes on with a larger width. So I have to go to the top and catch the bottom of windows and drag them down.

    Does any of you folks know the fix for this. A reg edit? Anything? Yes I click Apply every time that option is there.

    Thanks! jack ":-D

    What are we talking about here- it's not a notebooks is it?
    If it isn't you'd be better off asking this question elsewhere.

    Oh my gosh! :rolleyes: I made the best judgement I could. It's an Acer Aspire One Netbook. Where would you have me run off to? I didn't see anywhere else and I have asked questions here before for this same Acer A1 Netbook and got help several times in fact. So naturally I thought .... well I guess I thought wrong.

    Apologies all around. There is a place here to ask for an Acer Aspire 1 Netbook? I'll git there lickity split. :hi2:

    I'm sorry- that is my bad. I just didn't remember there was a netbook like that- I thought it might be a desktop.
    So it is the best place to ask after all :)

    Hey, if misunderstandings were money I'd be a filthy gazillionaire. No problem at all. ":-D
