Question Screen resolution help (mini 1012)?? - 03-23-2010, 09:28 PM

Hello I just went from Windows XP to 7 on my new Mini 1012..now the screen resolution has gone all funny. On XP it was 1024x600, in 7 800x600 is the highest resolution making everything stretch and being really bad for the eyes.

Any idea how i can fix this as i can't go back to XP?? thank you

its most definitely a drivers problem, try going to Intels webpage and download the latest drivers, that should do it..forget about Dells site

link:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sear...AE+GMA+3150%29

that should be for your chipset in the 1012 you have the GMA3150 chipset

that link has all the drivers for any version of windows XP/Vista/Win 7/32bit/64bit...etc...

PS. Welcome to the forum..
