Looking for an application that scrolls or pans netbook screens running Windows
- by therobyouknow
I'm looking for a Windows 7 and XP compatible Windows desktop panning/scrolling tool.
This is to solve a problem where some applications for example MSN have settings/preference Windows that are not resizeable. I have a Netbook with a small maximum screen resolution e.g. 1024x600.
The fixed non-resizeable windows are too large for this display screen size so I cannot see all of the items on these windows, particularly the OK button to save settings.
What I would like is a desktop scrolling/panning tool where if I move my mouse pointer to any edge of the display, it pans to show the region of the too-large-fixed window that I could not see.
I use a Samsung N110 and Toshiba NB100 netbooks.
I'm looking for:
A general program that provides desktop panning/scrolling/expanded resolution to allow all regions of a non-resizeable fixed window
Preferably a non-graphics hardware specific program but will accept a solution that works with both the above machines
I'm NOT looking for (i.e. unsatisfactory answers others have asked that I've already searched and found):
Advice on what programs to use that DON'T have the problem of fixed windows
Alternative operating system solutions
Plugging in an external monitor with larger resolution - I use this option but I need a solution when one is not available, e.g. while travelling etc
Advice about not using small screen netbooks - I enjoy the compact convenience of them
Advice about change the dpi settings in the Control Panel Display settings
Advice about guesswork with the tab key to move the focus the off-screen item I cannot see
Thank you in advance.
