    Hi,

    Maybe this has already been asqued, but I have looked for the information in this forum and in internet (even in eee forums), but no luck.

    I am using windows XP.
    I also usually use Astray Plus, but I disable it to make tests.

    In my external display I can only get resolutions higher than 1024x600 in "scrolling mode" (I can see the "full screen" if I move the cursor, but only 1024x600 pixels are really shown on the screen).

    I have tried to extend the screen, to use only the external display and more other options.
    Maybe some problem with AstrayPlus?

    Does anybody have any solution?

    Regards,

    what mode are you trying to use with external monitor? clone? extend desktop?
    Are you using the Intel graphics adapter properties to try to use the external monitor?
    I regularly connect my AAO to an external LCD and do 1280x1024 for extended desktop.

    Hi,
    I think I have tried both clone and extend desktop.
    I have tried Intel graphics adapter properties, as well as "standard windows".
    I have also tried to switch using the application launch facilities as well as intel graphics options.

    Could you give us your configuration (maybe only with the mode you are using is enough)?

    I only made the question to confirm that it is working. In this case (that I see is your case :) ), I will spend more time re-installing (and maybe) removing drivers. (You know installing anything with SSD disk is not fast).

    I think it can be some issue with astray plus.

    Thanks a lot.

    Regards.

    Hi again,

    I reinstalled the drivers and the external display is now working fine :)

    (Astray Plus is not working, but It does not matter).

    Thank you very much.

    Regards,
