RM2K3'S RESOLUTION IS TOO HIGH!

CloseI recently purchased a netbook. Its native resolution options are either 640x480 or 1024x576.
RM2k3 requires a resolution of at least 800x600 to run. I should have thought about this before I got the tiny lil thing but honestly it slipped my mind because RM2k3 runs fine on my brother's netbook. (Which is running 1024x600).
So 24 pixels in height are stopping me from using RM2k3 right now. It's a little upsetting, especially since my screen is actually slightly larger than his. (His just has more pixels per inch I'm guessing.)
I'm wondering a few things.
Is there a way to bypass this requirement in RM2k/3 either by hacking the exe or faking out RM2k3 in thinking my screen resolution is higher than it really is? So far I've tried ResHack for the former and editing registry values for the latter, but I've had no real luck. Maybe Aten knows something about this because he made the Goliath Patch for HUGE resolutions, but I'd doubt it.
Any thoughts or suggestions you have are appreciated. I never thought I'd see the day where seven-year-old software is incompatible with a brand new (albeit smaller) display.
Thanks.

Pick a resolution setting like 1024x768, and the netbook should scroll vertically.
Or click on the very top of the window's task bar and move it down or move it to the side. The database screen is click and drag the titlebar and move it up so the word Database is off the screen. That should give you move pixel to work with.
If the netbook have a VGA output, use that.
Good luck!

Kiwi,
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately neither the default windows display dialogue nor the advanced settings for the graphics card give me that option. So at this point I can't even run the program. (Rm2k3 gives me an error.)
Though it did give me an idea and I'm going to look into the following application:

EDIT:
Problem solved. My graphics card options had a "Hide incompatible screen resolutions" box checked. I unchecked it and picked 1024x768. Now it works just fine with the scrolling. Hardly an "incompatible resolution" but I guess I was trying to make the problem more difficult than it really was. Thanks again.
