    Hello,
    I have a little question.
    When I install latest drivers for Intel Extreme Graphics 2, than screen stretch out of the screen.
    I have TravelMate 2350 Intel Celeron 1.3GHz, 512MB RAM, Extreme Graphics 2 with shared memory.
    Operating system is Win XP Prof SP2.

    Thanx

    One thing you will wnat ot make sure of that the drivers are from the laptop manufacturer, not directly from the Intel site. The reason is that manufacturers post their own custom drivers that may address issues or compatibily problems with their notebook and video card, very much like what you are seeing.

    Also, the drivers might have set the wrong resolution, as they often do with widescreen laptops....

    Right click desktop, properties, settings tab.

    Slide the bar for the resolution over as far as it goes.

    Click Apply, ok, then you're done.

    ;)
