using certain area of a broken lcd

[Kasra Eskandari]

hi
i have a old hp laptop with faulty screen in bottom side .
it's not a lot but it covers the taskbar.
i want to know if there is a way for me to make the windows 7 to use a certain area of a monitor. this way i would be able to ignore the faulty section of the lcd and use the rest of the screen.
thanks in advance

It can;t be done as far as I know but if it could, it would soon eat away at the good bits of the screen untl it gave up the struggle.

If you have an external monitor or a TV screen, you could cable to send the video signal to that screen.

If you lower the resolution and turn of scaling (which your system may not have) you may be able to get the image in the middle of the screen with a black border around the image. Normally the system would expand the resolution to fill up the screen fully, but if you can disable that feature it will just render the resolution you set it to as is.
