I found that this netbook using GMA 3600, if we are not wrong on identified the graphics card, please help on how we are solving this things. thanks.

Hi,

I've had a very similar problem when installing Cinnamon Mint 13, also on a new Aspire One D270. Some of the settings are inaccesible because right-clicking on the menu bar doesn't do anything. I only recently realised that my Desktop Environment doesn't look like it should on a new installation of Cinnamon Mint 13 (from looking at Youtube videos, tutorial screenshots etc).

It might be a missing driver? Or a set of settings missing - I don't know. I've been running Ubuntu as a bit of a noob for a few years, and can run (very basic) terminal commands - I know enough just to get by, but can't think what's gone on here.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried installing official dirvers, or updating them?
Also, try going to Cinnamon2D (choose Cinnamon2D at MDM) and see if that helps.

EDIT: Maybe you could post a screenshot of what your desktop looks like?
