How? When I try to boot the game it says "Unable to open graphics. Make sure your screen resolution is at least 1024x768 and that your windows taskbar is not set to always remain on top."

I've got a 1024x600 resolution netbook. I've also been trying to get Astray to work so I can see everything anyway but I haven't had any luck with that either. Anyone have any other programs that do the same thing?

I loaded OOTP on my S5. You can change the screen resolution to 1024x768 (it simulates it). The screen is pretty small, but it should be playable. To change the resolution press and hold the stylus on the desktop screen and select graphics properties.

i picked up the new acer 751 netbook with the 11.6" screen, which allows for 1366x768 resolution, and the game runs beautifully. screen is small, which is a given on the system, but the game runs smoothly and quite quickly, better than what i was anticipating.

but with the native resolution of 1266x768, having the game on full screen with no scrolling needed is very nice. and especially having the game on a very portable device is nice.

the acer i have has the 1.33ghz atom processor with 2 gig of ram and 250 gig hard drive for reference.
