Problem closing windows on Toshiba NB 305 netbook

Greetings,

I have a Toshiba NB 305 netbook running Windows 7 Home. When some windows open, a portion of the bottom window is off the screen and is inaccessible. I am unable to drag the window up because it is already at the top of the screen. This means I can't initiate the action that is at the bottom of the window.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hmmm...Alt-F4 closes the window. There are other actions at the bottom of the window or dialogue box that I may want to choose, such as Apply or OK.

If you keep hitting alt-f4 it will close them all then ask you if you want to log off or close. If you are worried about saving files, then you will need to fix the video settings that is causing this problem.

I don't want to close the window. I want to be able to drag the window up so I can access the choices at the bottom of the dialogue box or window. I can drag the window up to show the choices, but when I release the mouse, the window moves back down again.

Hi Nobus,

I have tried the higher resolution and if I hide the Task Bar does allow access to the bottom portion of the window or dialogue box. Unfortunately, the text is so small that I can't use the laptop then. There must be some way to drag a window or dialogue box up and then have it stay there.
