i've had my netbook for about 1 and a half years, and never had aproblem with it.

this January it had to get a BIOS upgrade so i sent it to a Acer service center for them to do it.

a month later my screen resolution started having problems

i downloaded all the new drivers

but they only work temparily, till i shut down the netbook

is there any hope to my unusual problem?

help will be much appriciated

my chipset is mobile intel(R) 945 express chipset family

OS Windows XP home edition SP3

BIOS Version 3310

would like a permanant solution

I uninstalled all drivers and still presists is there anywhere i can change the settings of my screen?

This looks like it may be an issue with the display connection. I would recommend you contact ACER for again support.

idata · ‎03-10-2010

Yes, it seems hardware related problem to me too.

thank you your answer, but im in another country and it cost a lot for them to just diagnose it.

but when i uninstall everything it goes back

or if i install the drivers again

the reboot ruins it

i've opened it already no cable seems altered

is there a .config file or some editing file for me to alter any sttings?

Sorry, not that I'm aware of.

Try installing the driver provided on Acer's* web site.

This seems like it is not recognizing your monitor correctly, but this will be the first time I see something like this.

i have downloaded both the chipset and the vga driver, both installed, it fixes the screen but when i shut down for the night and turn it back on in the morning it would reset to mirroring and the black bar on the side like from top pics.

ive tried updating the drivers for both monitors and chipsets to what they are supposed to be, but still nothing

idata · ‎03-11-2010

Im no expert but are there suppost to be two of the same chipsets?

or this?

idata · ‎03-11-2010

Yes, it is normal because of the dual pipe.

Have you tried reinstalling the operating system in your computer, install the chipset driver and then the video driver?

umm can without the OS cd? or a cd driver.

idata · ‎03-11-2010

If you mean not using an actual CD because your system does not have an optical unit then yes, it can be done with a flash drive, but it is a very long and tedious job. You can fins it all over the Internet but note that you will loose a bunch of time.

I don't have one of those notebooks, but I heard that they have a partition with the restore system information and sometimes with a copy of the operating system. You can try that.
