    I bought an AO532h with Windows 7 Starter. I want to add a monitor and have an Extended Desktop but cannot get the Graphics card to allow me the option, only offers Dual Screen Clone. I've read that Acer netbooks with Windows XP has this ability. How can I get Extended Desktop on Windows 7 Starter??

    Windows 7 starter is the problem i believe.
    Be warned, ever since i first hooked up my TV to my netbook, the netbook, do not show the POST screen at all on the netbook, only shows it on the external monitor/TV, when connected.

    This behavior (not seeing the post on the laptop screen) is perfectly normal when any external monitor is plugged in, the computer use it as its main screen, and when Windows and Acer drivers are loaded, the laptop screen is started normally. Solution to avoid this, don't plug your external monitor untill Windows is started, then use FN+F5 key to get the external tv/monitor in action.
