is it possible to make the desktop resolution larger than the physical resolution?

[Roland Schweiger]

I have a Netbook
HP MINI 2140 which works fine with Win7.
The native physical resolution of the display is
1024 x 576 pixels.
This is fine for most but some larger windows will not display correctly
e.g. sometimes i do not see the "ok" or "cancel" buttons.

Is there a possibility to virtually use a different resolution,
for example 1280 x 1024 and making the netbook display show only a portion
of it, by moving around with the mouse?

I remember in the past some graphics adapters offered a similar feature by
their own software
but i thought in Win7 this might be included.

Any idears?

Thanks for that information.
Hope it works on Win7 - i have downloaded it and will test it on the HP Mini
and will let you know if it works correctly.

Unfortunately the SDESK app does not work on my
HP MINI 2140 (with 32-bit version of Win7 ultimate).

The app starts and shows me the little navigation window,
i can set a virtual desktop size but nothing happens -
the desktop resolution remains 1024x576.
Then i tried disabling "aero" and switching to a win7 standard display
scheme,
same problem.

Am i to stupid to use the app correctly, or is it just too "old" for Win7
and some graphics adapters?

No problem for seven...

Just run with compatibility XP...

( and for move your virtual screen use "CTRL+SHIFT+ALT + ( UP,or DOWN,or LEFT, RIGHT )
