If your Acer3500 laptop is any of these models then your native resolution is 1024x768 and when you go above this it reverts to a much lower resolution, perhaps 640x480 and you get the improper formation of the screen, as XP has a native resolution for its screens of 800x600.<br />

I've never worked on an Acer, but, you may want to check the Bios. I've had some brands that have a &quot;full screen&quot; setting in the bios for resolution variables.

I think that if the screen entry in the settings of theO/S says 1024X768, you can't go beyond that (which can cause some confusion) If your laptop has a 1024X768 screen, you can't do anything about it; if the screen is indeed capable of more pixels, make sure that is reflected in the settings for available monitor.<br />

hi there,<br />
<br />
I have an Acer Aspire 3500. The display adapter is an SiS M661MX. When I increase the resolution above 1024 x 768, the screen is out of my display. ie. i cannot see the start button and the windows are out of the visible region. How can I increase the resolution and keep it on the visible display area.<br />
Thank you.

Display resolution goes off screen

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
