Re: Acer1715 display screen off-center HELP!
It seems this thread got hijacked while I wasn't here ...
@ Alucard: sorry for the driver, unfortunately most Intel graphic chip share the name GMA so I found only the most recent driver which covers only last chips (945, 965 and G3x family): the one for your 910/915 is here, dated january 2007.
Position controls I was referring to are the blue arrows in i4004's screenshot and are useful if you can't use your monitor controls or if the image is really out of center: your seems the second case, maybe autocentering is badly implemented in your monitor. Can you test the Acer with another computer?
Anyway, graphic properties usually are in Windows Control panel -> Screen -> Settings, Advanced button: look all tabs until you find the controls. I say "usually" because new drivers tend to be shipped with separate control tools, such as Ati's Catalyst Control Center or nVidia's Control Panel: Intel may use its program, so YMMV.
@ PaulS, i4004: do not turn this thread into a "nVidia vs Intel" war, please. Alucard wants only to watch decently the desktop on his monitor, not to watch HD movies nor to play 3D games and a new card is [ahem] out of discussion. Aside new drivers, Powerstrip and complaining for Acer monitors, what can Alucard do?
