A simple tweak of the registry in Windows 7 (I have Windows 7 Starter) on my Acer Aspire One netbook (Intel 3150 video chip; upgraded to 2GB ram) allows an increase from 1024×600 screen resolution up to 1152×864. There is no panning or scrolling required. This tweak allowed me to run my PowerDirector 9 video editing software without my external monitor. If you do this, keep track of the number of entries in the registry with the ‘Display1_DownScalingSupported’ key and in which ones you changed the value from 0 to 1 in case you want to undo. Hope this helps some of you with the same problem I had – maybe some gamers out there also? I did notice a color mask artifact in my video preview window which did NOT show up in screen captures, video playback or effect video editing. (I don’t know if the RAM upgrade factors into this working or not.)
