hello

thinkpad x31, screen res perfect on 1024 x 768 off the laptop display.
however, when i conenct a 17" flatscreen externally and up the resolution to 1280 x 1024 it does the change but instead of making the icons smaller and fitting on the screen its making the actual desktop space larger so i have to scroll the mouse pointer off the corner of the monitor to see the rest of the desktop?
how do i sort this?

Cheers
rob

If in doubt get the Ball Pein Hammer out
