screen shot (well, photo of screen!)

I haven't got internet at work (the beggars won't give me the wifi code) - but I have looked into what you suggest ready for when I get home tonight. See attached photo - Should I be looking at updating the "Display adapters" or "Monitors" -- either way, is there any reason why there should be three references to "Digital Flat Panel (1024 x 768)" under Display Adapters? Help appreciated - hopefully we're getting warmer!

Netbook screen is 9inches, and the reduced sized portion used is only 7 inches (excluding the bit that tiles below)

PS - Thanks though ryoung

No joy with that I'm afraid :( Two display options - 800x600 and 1024x768 - amd neither changed the issue Typically on maybe the 20th time I restarted the netbook last night, it filled the screen beautifully and I was able to use it normally. However, switched it on again this morning....and it's back to partial screen and tiling thing again. More ideas required I'm afraid? Bob

Hi all - the screen on my netbook is driving me nuts, and I'm dying to get it fixed so I can be antisocial and surf the net over Crimbo whilst ignoring the family! Every time I turn it on, windows only opens up in 2/3rds of the screen and tiles! I know the rest of the screen works, because once in 50 power-ups it works properly and fills the whole screen. If I plug it into a separate monitor, the 2nd monitor is fine. Any thoughts/help/suggestions gratefully received. Photo attached (hopefully) Ta, Bob
