I don't know - I purposely ordered my system with Win7, which is plenty frustrating enough! I cannot imagine why anyone would want to use a screen this large as a touch screen in any case.

I'm not sure if my HP is wide display or not but there is a little on each side that isn't covered and I can't really notice if that helps.

Press the Vivobook key by the number pad (key w/ &lt;&gt; ) and click on "splendid" on the lower right corner. Then a window should pop up and you can choose between the preset settings or press manual and adjust to your liking.

Actually... you can change the resolution to 1024 x 768 - Right click on the desktop.. go to Properties > Settings Tab > Click on Advanced - Click on the Monitor tab... and uncheck the box that says "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display." At that point you can change the resolution to 1024 x 768. You can move the mouse to the top and bottom extremes to scroll the desktop up and down.I had this same issue when trying to install Adobe Illustrator CS3. It required 1024 x 768 minimum. I made the change and was able to install the software. No need for an external monitor. Funny thing is... I can run Illustrator fine once it is installed in the standard 1024 x 600 resolution.Hope that helps.Mark Actually... you can change the resolution to 1024 x 768 - Right click on the desktop.. go to Properties > Settings Tab > Click on Advanced - Click on the Monitor tab... and uncheck the box that says "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display."

As they said, no. You could open 4 browsers and arrange them in 4 screen quadrants, though.

Not sure, the regular view displays the entire, exposed screen as opposed to the S windows' Summarized display.. it usews less battery, I suppose.

Not at all. After owning mine for a week I was trying to get rid of it. It's so slow I can barely surf the internet. It sometimes takes minutes to load a textual page. Stay away from this computer

Hey, download the free openoffice equivalent of all that stuff. It works perfect & doesn't take up lots of space. Download is free!!

Right click on desktop go to personalize then adjust resolution. Should see it in there.

On Windows 7 and XP, the default video spanning will take ALL screen space and treat it as one contiguous display. If you run windowed programs, what you suggested should work. I did have it showing a movie on that display while doing other work on my other 2. Hope this helps.

Yes, comes preconfigured that way. You can remove that feature, change it to <TAB> or <LF>

I do not have this exact computer, but 95% identical. I just have the 640 gb hard drive and mine is a slimline 5550 model of the same line that came out last July. It comes with a trial ware Norton with Norton pc checkup which is very annoying. Remove it and then throw on something like AVG that is free and not a memory hog. Also, I would turn off some startup programs. Those HP utilities are very annoying and they do checks that you do not need. Oh, if you want to speed up the time it takes to setup you computer go to www.ninite.com. Nothing bad, I promise. I use it at work (computer support technician) and it installs all your required software like itunes, quicktime, adobe reader, flash, java, avg, and more. Just click on the programs and install. It turns off pop-ups and it installs everything in less than 25% of the time and no next's or license agreements.

I installed WinXP and you can extend the desktop with a utility provided by Intel. I have it connected to a 21" monitor at 1600x1200 resolution. The max resolution it supports is 1920x1080.

The HP netbooks that have matte screens unfortunately have a wide glossy frame around the display, which defeats the purpose -- it's like a reflective mirror around the display and can be equally distracting. I have an Asus netbook with the same problem -- though the frame is not as shiny. The HP was so bad however, I had to return it. I'm glad to see many others share this concern, maybe the manufacturers will start listening??

Yes, there is a buffer. The keyboard is frustrating because they removed the :/; key and made them a function under the K & L key. Bummer of a way to save space.
