Netbook users please help!

So I picked up an HP Mini 1151NR netbook for college and so far I have absolutely loved it. Love the portability, love the screen, love everything about it. I've been taking notes and doing schoolwork on it quite a bit, but the other day I had somewhat of an idea...

Just for kicks I installed Guild Wars on my netbook, just to see if it would work. I'm currently sporting an Intel ATOM 1.6 ghz processor, 1 gig of ram, Windows XP, and an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950.

anyway long story short, Guild Wars runs actually quite well on this netbook. Only problem is that I cannot run the game in fullscreen mode. The Intel Graphics Accelerator has options for scaling the resolution and making anything fit on this 1024x576 scree, but the option in Guild Wars is greyed out.

So I did a lot of research and the conclusion I've come to is... not a whole lot of people know about netbook graphics cards. I've got the latest graphics card drivers, the latest version of DirectX 9.0c and all my dxdiag tests go through perfectly. It says that I should be able to run Direct3D, DirectDraw, and all this stuff.

I have tested older games like Diablo II, and for whatever reason they cannot run fullscreen and utilize the DirectDraw. I've checked everything. I've tweaked every setting, but I cannot get anything to run in fullscreen. I even set my resolution to 640x480 (perfect for Diablo) and it won't go fullscreen... it will only run in a window.

Why is this?!?! I'm confused. I know someone else has to know what's going on here. Gimme a shoutout if you have a netbook and have gotten Guild Wars to run in full screen.

I could use these very same answers.

Somebody must know something at this point?

My guess would be that it has to do with the odd-ball 1024x576 resolution and that the drivers are not equipped to convert other fixed game resolutions (such as 640x480) to that. That may be specific to the hardware in the netbook.
