Hi Mac, I don't have a netbook, but I had a similar problem on my desktop PC's attached monitor. Just thought I might tell you this in case it helps...
On a desktop PC with a separate attached monitor, one can adjust the screen resolution either by changing the monitor video scaling settings which are built into the monitor itself, or by changing the graphics card display settings which are built into the PC. Changing the monitor's video scaling settings DID NOT fix the Delta Cad stretching/compression problem. But I was able to easily fix it by leaving the monitor at its native video scaling settings, and changing the graphics card display control panel resolution settings. But since a netbook has a built-in monitor, it might only have graphics card display settings and no separate monitor settings. Try this: If you have Windows 7, Right click on blank area of desktop, click on "resolution", and then play with the resolutions on that page.

I like the small size and light weight (although I wish my fingers weren't so thick) and it seems to run the dialing software I use most (The Dialist's Companion, ZW2000, QBasic). However, the DeltaCad display is distorted on the wide screen. For instance, circles appear as ellipses on the screen, although a printout looks OK. I've tried adjusting the monitor resolution and refresh rate without relief. A trip to the Acer website and a lengthy "chat" with a company representative didn't help. I'm hoping that someone on this list may have solved a similar problem involving distorted DeltaCad displays on a wide screen and can offer some advice. Thanks for any suggestions.
