Custom resolution on multiple monitors

[JustinStacey.x]

I have a netbook permanently connected to a CRT, which is the main screen. I use the netbook screen as nothing more than a secondary which displays taskmanager and process explorer. However, even on 1024x600 the text is still a bit of a strain to read so I want to set it to something like 800x480 or exactly half the native resolution 640x384, for instance.

However I can't. I looked up how to set custom resolution in the registry but it didn't work... so how can I go about it, anyone?

LCDs don't like custom resolutions. But I'm surprise 1024x600 is the lowest you can go. Maybe if you state the model of your laptop someone will come with an alternative driver ?

I know that LCDs are funny about resolutions, I can in fact go to 800x600 but that stretches images horizontally.

I would set it to its native resolution but it's almost unreadable which is why i no longer use this machine as a portable computer in the first place - to read anything you have to practically glue your eyes to it. It's the HP Mini note 2133.
