Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Get another monitor. There is a topic discussing how to get around this problem, but I think it's been at least half a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Carranzero Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 i'm playing in a netbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 from bit old post (try that tip with your own risk): Hello netbook user... ====== Yeah, I have netbook too. But I can play all of Spiderweb's demos including GF4-GF5 and AV4-AV5. And Avadon. Want to know how? ====== I googled for a while on how to increase the netbook's screen resolution and found out that you have to open regedit.exe on run and type <************> (I can't remember, but I'll tell it soon) then you have to find <*******> (I also can't remember) and change the value to 1. Then you will have a resoultion as high as 1152x864. ====== Oh yeah, I remembered now: BE FOREWARNED!!! ANY MISTAKES OR ERRORS IS NOT IN MY HANDS NOW! WE HAVE DIFFERENT NETBOOKS AND 80% OF THE PEOPLE WHO USED THIS TRICK WORKED. I'm sure yours will too. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS HERE WOULD might RESULT IN breaking of your system, computer, your legs, your picture frame and your house... 1.) type regedit on run. Just regedit. 2.) type “Display1_DownScalingSupported”. Disregard the "". Then wait. 3.) after a few moments. Find anything written “Display1_DownScalingSupported” with the value of 0. Then change the 0 to 1. Reboot your netbook and It would surely work. However, there are chances of your netbook is Asus, it might not work. again its your own risk if you decide to try that. best option (outside buying newer comp) would be to buy external monitor (if your netbook has video output).

Kyshakk Koan Carranzero Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 nailed it! display options (right clik desktop) -> monitor options -> uncheck "hide resolutions this monitor can't display" then advanced options -> adaptor -> "list all modes this adaptor can use" or something liek that (my windows is in spanish) select 1024 x 768 x 16 x 60 ........ bingo!
