Screen resolution of netbook vs Windows 8

I have a Toshiba netbook with a resolution of 1028 x 600. Is anyway to get Windows 8 to work properly? It calls for 1028 x 720 and I can't do it. I downloaded the beta version, not realizing that I couldn't come back and ended up buying Windows 8 when the beta began to close. I felt trapped. I can access my normal stuff through the desktop application so it works, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

There is no way around the resolution of 1024 x 768 min... You can contact the manufacturer of your computer for a windows 7 dvd to reinstall your previous version of windows. Or simply ignore the start screen and applications and use the Office instead. Many users do exactly that and ignoring the splash screen. The office works just like win 7.

  • How to manually set my screen resolution

    My OS is Windows Vista Business
    My graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 3650.
    As far as I can see, they are incompatible.
    I'm really fed up after more than two years of distorted on my screen content.  This is best illustrated by photos

    the viewable area of the screen is 17 inches x 10.5 inches.  It is a ratio, as close as d * 5:3.
    CatCC ATI had before 1280 x 960 or 4:3 and, of course, I looked fat in my pix (no comments please!)
    So I put it 5:3.  It is why photos should now be good... but now I look emaciated, like something from "Roswell".
    Why?
    It seems that I need something like 1280 x 800, but no such resolution is offered.

    CatCC ATI offers resolutions of only...
    report 4:3 - i.e. 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, 1280 x 960, 1380 x 1050
    ratio of 5:3 - 1.e. 1280 x 768, 1380 x 1050.
    ratio 5:4-1280 x 1024

    On Windows XP, it has been possible to set the resolution manually.  Now I can no longer do.
    Is this a result of narrow programming Vista OS, resulting in limited options?
    Or Dell just gave me the bad graphics card?
    As it is, I can't have nothing to realistic appearance on the screen.  This is ridiculous in our technical age.

    Is there a way to get around this?
    Or am I finally stuck with a square that will always look like a rectangle, regardless of the resolution, I have chosen?

    Hello

    If you upgraded from XP to Vista or you bought Vista preinstalled, you check with Dell to see if there are Vista compatible drivers.

    Dell provides drivers and Dell does not include material on buy operating systems pre-installed on their computers or cell phones, if it's not compatible...

    If the graphics card is pre-installed as part of your Dell with Vista preinstalled OS, go to the Dell site and download the last Grapghics / video / Chipset for your computer model and operating system drivers.

    To change the Screen resolution, do the following:

    Step 1: Right click on the desktop and select Screen Resolution screen resolution window.

    Step 2: You can see the current screen resolution then the resolution box. If the resolution is less than 1024 x 768 pixels, you can set a higher resolution, if your PC supports. To change the resolution in progress, click resolution box and select a higher resolution.

  • WIndows 7 - can not lower the screen resolution

    I don't know when it happened... apparently, after one of the windows updates because it worked very well, a month or two ago... anyway, here's my problem. A month ago I got the Sims 3 World Adeventures. I installed it and he played wonderfully. I have themselves are involved in the Facebook games and he has not played for a few weeks, but recently decided to go back to the Sims 3. I clicked the shortcut, open Launcher, I clicked on play and my screen went black, then white, then gray, then horizontal strips of red, green and blue, I think that the colors are then complete blue (like the blue BSOD) then he began again, black, white etc. I could alt tab out after a few minutes.  No error message, no beeps and the computer wasn't warm because I had just started before trying to play.

    I'm running on an Acer Aspite Z5600 with touchscreen (its an all-in-one... looks like a monitor etc), Windows Home Premium, 3 gig of ram, op 64 bit, Pentium system dual core, Intel G45/G43 Express chipset. I went to check my graphics settings - the resolution is set in 1920 x 1080 monitor shows a built-in display. I thought that maybe the resolution was causing problems because the Sims 3 do not like this high middle (I never changed it and the game worked before but I thought of one another program may have) when I put the lower resolution and hit apply I had the same changes in strange black on white, etc.. Yet once again, I had to alt tab out... it took forever to do, and my resolution had not changed.  Everything else seems to work fine... my browser and other... I can play some Facebook games and it seems pretty much any game that starts in a window / windowed mode. I changed the settings on the Sims 3 to play in windowed mode and it starts very well (I HATE the windowed mode tho) I decided to do some research and see if I could find a solution later and decided to go play another game, (one of the verizon games I had played before without problem) and he did the same thing as Sims 3 dang. It is a demand pretty weak game graphics-wise (his Poppit to go - even my old laptop can play it.) so having unplayable all of a sudden he had me beat. Color changes look almost like a kind of graphical test. Hope I have not confused LOL thanks everybody for any help.

    I have a reversible temporary solution of 10 steps for this problem, im also using a race of z5600 acer windows 7 and when I try to run anything that changes the resolution of the screen the screen turns black and flashes different colors is a way around this, but you will not be able to use the full screen , and when your done with the game or whatever you will be able to use the full screen new heres how

    1. start

    2 right click computer

    3. click on properties

    4. click on Device Manager

    5. If Conrtol user account appears, click Yes

    6. click on the tab display cards

    7. right click Intel G45/43 Express Chipset

    8. click on turn off

    9. now the display begins to blink and you'll notice that sub-par signifigantly window, you only 3 options for screen resolution size but most of the games will take place and you will be able to see

    10. to make the fullscreen back you will need to follow the same steps as above, then click Activate
