ASUS 1015CX-BLK024W Screen Resolution Problem - solved

Hi All,

I have an ASUS 1015CX-BLK024W netbook running Win 7 Home Premium. I want to increase the screen resolution but when I go to the Control Panel to adjust it, the maximum available to me is 800x600. If I read them correctly, the specs say it can go up to 1024x600. I updated the graphic driver but the resolution is still limited to 800x600.

Any way to fix this? Do I need to change something in the registry?

I searched on Google and in this forum and didn't find any relevant links. I also tried to join the Asus Support Forum, but their registration system isn't working.

Thanks,

Advait

Have you tried the original driver that comes with the netbook?
cheers ...

Ahh... Good points. Thanks. The netbook belongs to a newbie friend. I think at one point he had to wipe the original OS (which I think was Windows 7 also) and then he installed this other version of Win 7. I'll talk with him to get the details. That may provide some clues. I'll report back what I find.

Thanks! Kind Regards,

Hi,

I got it solved by downloading and manually installing the latest full video driver (17mb) from the Asus website. Apparently just hitting the "Update Video Driver" button does not get the full version. Now I can set the resolution to 1024x600. Perfect! Thanks for your replies. Cheers,
