sorry if this isn't the right places but...

I'm trying to install a program on my laptop and it keeps saying I must have resolution of at least 1024x768, but the highest option is 1024 x 600.
Is there any way of sorting this?

what sort of laptop is it?
are you sure you have your graphics card drivers installed? When your working without your GPU drivers it only gives you a limited amount of resolution options.

Yeah unfort they've low resolutions.

You could try plugging in an external monitor. The GPU might support higher then.

i'm not sure if there's another program, but i know photoshop cs2 also won't work, so also annoying.
I think I may just opt for a new laptop
