damaged display

[d***@gmail.com]

I have a laptop with a damaged display runing Windows 8.1. Is there any way to configure my rendering area to exclude the damaged portions. Maybe set things up so that the driver only renders into a smaller rectangle than that of the entire display. Ideally, I'd like to set it so that there are 2 rectangles, but that seems like a lot of work.

I don't know how to accomplish what you're asking, and I'm doubtful that
it's even possible, but would it be feasible to simply connect an external
monitor to your laptop? I ran that way for years.
