A Virtual Desk top that is larger than my actual monitor

Postby RLKnecht » 15.05.2014 07:13:09

Hello,
I am looking for a way to run a program that needs a 1920x1080 display on my laptop that only has a 1600x900 display. Having to scroll up and down and side to side to see the portions of the full screen that are not visible is not a problem, I just need to be able to shift the viewable area without exiting the program. Will I be able to do that using Dexpot or is that not possible? If not, is there another way to accomplish this without having an actual 1920x1080 monitor hooked up?
Thanks
Rick

No, that's not possible with Dexpot.

There are a few scrolling desktop extenders (GiMeSpace, Infinite Screen, 360desktop, ...) but I don't know if any of them actually allow you to make a window larger than the screen size.
