Help needed w/laptop wide screen issues
is there any hope for me?
Friday, July 22, 2005 by iPseudoNym | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I recently purchased a new laptop, Dell Inspiron 9300, with a 17" wide screen display. Of course one of the first things I did was install Windowblinds on it. Unfortunately every single skin, installed by default or downloaded, is having issues with displaying the XP start menu graphics. The various graphics that make up the start menu are not lining up correctly so they look offset in a big way. I have tried various wide screen and non-wide screen resolutions and the problem exists consistently across the board. 
My question is, has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, have you found a solution?
Some information that may help you help me:
OS: Win XP Home
Windowblinds: v4.51 build 204
Video card: Geforce go 6800 (driver v7.7.2.4)
Display: 17" widescreen 1920 x 1200 (native resolution)
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nym
