    Hello,

    Just picked up the AA1-10 this week, real cool unit, but, A certain application I use requires 1024 X 768 screen res
    All the information I need is at the bottom of the page (out of range on the notenook display)

    I cant find anything else in the choices other than 800 X 600 besides the current 1024 X 600 I run in now.

    Is there a way to increase the screen res a little higher, or, is there any software that could do this??

    Thanks in advance.


    Dave

    Here's your solution. Install the Downscaling Switcher from the link below. It's a zip file referred to in the second post. Unpack the zip then put a link to the exe file in your quick launch bar. It does not need to be installed. This will toggle the display between normal and 1024x768 compressed to fit in the 600 height. I had the same problem with an astronomy camera program. Too many buttons and some were off the screen at the bottom and unmovable.

    And a quick fix if you just need to fill out a form that is too large, rotate the display 90 degrees so it displays sideways. You will then be able to reach buttons that were previously too low.

    Installs in 30 seconds, then you press cntrl+alt+right_arrow to rotate the screen, and cntrl+alt+up_arrow to rotate it back. Quick and easy, and doesn't distort things to make them fit in a non-native resolution.
