Please save me from throwing my computer against a wall.
Forgive me, I know this kind of thing has probably been covered on here a million times but I ran a search and couldn't find anything that helped.
Yesterday I purchased an AOC 22" monitor to use as an external display for my HP mini 110-3100 netbook via a vga connection. Unfortunately, and even after downloading the required drivers, I can only choose between two resolution settings - 1024x600 and 800x600 - neither one of which come close to using the full potential of the Mini's intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150 graphics card and both of which cause the display on the monitor to look all grainy and webpages to not display properly. If I try to use the 1024x600 the display is so wide it doesn't even fit on the screen. The 800x600 fits, but looks like shit.
The netbook is running Windows 7 Starter, could that be the problem? If it's not is there some way to create a custom resolution, one that would work better with the AOC?
I'm all out of ideas and about at my wit's end with this thing so I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered, even if it's been offered before ad naseum.
Thanks guys.
