I have an HP110 netbook with Intel 945 Express graphics chipset. The basic screen resolution is 1024 x 576. When this machine had Windows XP installed, you could go into the graphics properties, uncheck the 'Monitor Settings/Hide modes that this monitor cannot display' checkbox and select, for instance, 1024×768. This gave you a scrolling viewport that was larger than the actual screen.
I installed Windows 7 and the checkbox is greyed out, so I cannot select 1024×768. Does anyone know how to get this checkbox activated, or to get a viewport larger than the screen? Is it a property of the Win7 driver, or is there perhaps a registry entry I can modify?
I have installed the current Win7 driver from Intel's site.

My guess is that you need a Windows 7 driver for your graphics card.
See what the Device Manager says? A question mark or nothing.
