I have an Acer Aspire One netbook. I have added the 2nd monitor, and LG, and use it as the primary and "one and only" ... the selection is all output to monitor. The Acer screen is blank.

It won't keep the aspect ratio from boot to boot. I have used right click, properties and settings with apply. I have also used the program on the taskbar provided by the video card's OEM and set it. It won't stick. It comes back on too large.

The must be registry setting(s) that can make this stick.

Acer Aspire 1
XP for student
SP3
plenty of ram

Thanks so much! jack ":-D

Look to the NB's video driver and associated software as having a Control

Panel applet for a profile or other video display settings.

Yes Dave, there is a Control Panel Applet on the taskbar, as I mentioned but was not probably clear enough. I've changed it there too, however, interestingly it never applies from their even. ":-\

Dave, I think what I might have meant above by "a program on the taskbar" was a OEM's Control Panel Applet. And even when I set it there it does not stay put. ?? So .... here I am still square one. There must be a place in the registry to make this setting stick. ":-\ Thanks Dave

"Too large" isn't the same thing as "wrong aspect ratio", though it
could be both. What size (x by y) are you setting, what is it reverting
to, and (assuming the external isn't a CRT) what is the external's
native x by y?
