Note that this kind of "desktop bigger than the display" appears to be very video-card specific -- I've tried to add it to this netbook manually but most of the options I've found seem to involve trying to confuse the video card long enough for it to offer the setting (the process being very specific to the version of Windows). I have looked into programs that simulate the effect by moving the windows around when your mouse hits the edge of the screen, but their look&feel demonstrate that they weren't designed for this particular purpose (plus convincing PowerSDR to resize to larger-than-screen seems to introduce a lot of window artifacts)<div>
<br></div><div>On my netbook I have no options other than 1024x600 when running in "Intel mode", I have the option of 1024x768 in "Nvidia mode" (which I use a lot) but it involves squishing pixels and makes the text slightly more difficult to read.<br>

There is a way to change some Netbooks so that your "Desktop" is 1024x768, and scroll up and down the 1024x600 actual display within that larger size. Granted, this is not optimal, but at least you can get to all the controls.<br>
<br>
On my original Acer Aspire One Netbook (Win XP), I first changed the display to 1024x768 by right-clicking on the desktop, select Properties, then the settings tab, and move the screen resolution pointer so that 1024x768 is selected. Now, click Apply. This mode can also be used with an external monitor, where you will see the entire 1024x768.<br>
<br>
The desktop should now be 1024x768, with only 1024x600 being displayed at a time. you can scroll up or down to move the display by moving the mouse pointer to the top or bottom of the screen. If you open PowerSDR, almost all the program can be seen, and you can scroll up and down to see whatever is "cut-off" at any given moment.<br>
<br>
Again, this is NOT optimal, but at least all of the PowerSDR controls can be gotten to, and changed if necessary.<br>

My 9" acer netbook has always chopped off the bottom bit of the screen in<br>
powersdr despite anything i could do. i tried using a 14" netbook with the<br>
same result its the "x600" resolution on netbooks is the issue<br>
<br>
Kiss console does the same. I did get a version that allowed me to see the<br>
whole powersdr window but that was not included in the merged kiss console<br>
release<br>
<br>
The same issue also happened with powersdr and the flex1500 with the acer. i<br>
mentioned it to flex the day they released the 1500. They said they were<br>
looking into it but after 12 months without resolution and some other<br>
continuing issues with latency i sold it<br>
<br>
My eventual resolution was to buy an "ex corporate lease" hp nc-6220 laptop<br>
for $200 which i can use portable with the hpsdr chassis<br>

<br>
Hi all, I'm trying to run powersdr 2.2.3 on an acer netbook with a screen<br>
resolution of 1024 X 600.<br>
The console display is truncated about the middle of the passband buttons.<br>
If I try to enlarge the window, the console expands but the truncation<br>
remains.<br>
If I run powersdr on a desktop computer with a 1600 X 1200 monitor, then I<br>
can see the whole console.<br>
Has anyone got in to the same problem ?<br>
73, Giovanni, IZ0SQZ<br>
