Acer netbook bits of page missing

I purchased an acer aspire from Tesco the other week. Sometimes when I goon sites that require a username and password the boxes are missing. I cannot access certain sites now is this normal with these netbooks or is there a way to set it up correctly. Sometime the top of a page is missing too.

I got this for £209 because all the pink ones that were £199 had sold out and does anyone know if they were on offer at £110 because we looked the week before buying one and could have sworn it was £110. When I asked the bloke said they had never been on offer for that so have I imagined it?

    It is the screen and the maximum resolution it can display (which is 1024 X 600)

    There is a nice little utility that will allow a 1024 X 768 to kind of be displayed. The bit of the screen between the 600 and 768 is displayed off screen and you can scroll to it

    I have been using it on my Aspire One since I got it and no problems at all (touch wood (my head))

    Enjoy
