PS. My kid plays Knights Online with this model!

We have the XP Acer Aspire One.


The "trick" is to show all modes in the video control panel. Knights Online needs more pixels so we set it to a virtual big screen. If you select a higher screen resolution most notebook computers create a partial view of the screen that you must "pan" around to view the entire screen. Panning is typically accomplished by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the display in the direction you wish to pan the screen.
