'Desktop area'
This section of the control panel lists the screen resolution options supported by the display
driver. Not all color depths are supported for all resolutions. If the amount of video memory
needed to display a particular color depth at a certain screen resolution exceeds the 1MB of
onboard video display memory, that color depth will be unavailable.
Select the screen resolution you want by clicking on the Less/ More slider bar and holding down
the left "mouse" button. Slide the bar left or right to set the resolution. The image on the monitor
graphic will change to reflect the effect of the setting you make.
Any resolution higher than 640 x 480 will only display fully on an external monitor. The LCD
will work at any setting, but the LCD displays at most 640 x 480 pixels whatever the Display
Properties Settings are. If you select a higher resolution, eg 600 x 800 pixels, a 640 x 480 pixel
portion of the screen image will display. To see the rest of it you have to 'pan' to the off-screen
portion by directing the pointer to the edge of the screen. The 640 x 480 pixel 'window' then
moves over to that part of the screen. You can leave the 'Desktop area' setting selected for the
configuration you use with an external monitor while you are using only the LCD screen.
'Font size'
There are two options in this section, Small Fonts and Large Fonts are the font options common
to Windows display drivers. These options control the size of the screen font in the Windows and
Windows applications. At higher screen resolutions, using the Large option will make program
menus, etc., much easier to see. By default, the 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 resolutions use the
Small setting and the higher resolutions use the Large setting. You can change the default
manually if you prefer a different configuration.

'Change Display Type'
You can change the active display driver and the set the external monitor settings from a box that
pops up when you click on the 'Change Display Type' button.
Do not change the 'Adapter Type' unless you update the C&T driver with a newer one. You can
set which external monitor you want to connect by clicking on the 'Change' button and selecting
from the list that comes up. If your external monitor is "Energy Star" compliant, click on the box
beside that item to indicate this.
