Eee PC Seashell series netbook screen is cut off at bottom no matter the resolution
- by Yzmir Ramirez
I have an Eee PC 1015PE Seashell netbook running Windows 7 Home Premium with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (8.14.10.2230) with a "Generic Non-PnP Monitor" detected.
I tried:
Changing the resolution (Control Panel = Appearance and Personalization = Display = Screen Resolution) to 1024x768
Updating the video driver (to 8.14.10.2230)
Uninstalling the driver and rebooting
Pressing the Windows Key + "-" (magnifier)
Pressing Ctrl + Mouse Scroll only resizes the desktop items
Pressing Fn + F4 shows 1024x600 (which I think is what I should be using, but nothing happens)
EDIT:
Changed from Landscape to Portrait and it works
Attached an External Monitor and when I extend or set as desktop it works only on the External Monitor (shows up as "Generic PnP
Monitor in Device Manager)
Basically the bottom inch of my desktop is off-screen hiding my start bar, but my wigets are in their proper position (the start bar is not hidden). Pressing Ctrl + Esc shows the start menu but its cut-off.
I'm pretty sure I should be using 1024x600 resolution, any advice?
What's odd is that this only started happening recently.
EDIT2:
Here are some screenshots showing the problem:
Resized Window to fit:
Opened Start Menu - notice it cut off:
Maximized window and then scrolled down - notice no Start Menu:
I downgraded my graphic driver I downloaded from the Intel Download Center for the Graphic Media Accelerator 3150 (now: 8.14.10.1972) and now my "Generic non-PnP Montior" detects as "Digital Flat Panel (1024x768 60Hz)".
