mini computer dosen't show 1024x768 as an option

hey, I need a little help with a bit of a technical issue. Our family reciently aquired a Acer mini computer it has windows 7 and a intell express graphics card.

so... the problem is that 1024x768 is not an option under graphics display. only 800x600 or 1024x600 are avalable. is there a way, short of messing with the drivers, to add a custom resolution of 1024x768?

p.s. I tried updating all of the software/drivers and running a Direct X Diagnostic.

any help would be great

does your computer support that naively

I'd be amazingly surprised if an Intel Express even ran FO. Part of the reason I bought an Acer 7540g was because the Intel Express in my original Dell couldn't handle the game...

no, but it should be able to run it it would just be about 100 more pixels.

should have made it clear that I'm not trying to run FO on it

Fleet ops isnt resource hungry, i run intel express, 945GM, and fleet ops works fine. if it can run windows 7, then you can turn down the graphics in windows to make fleet ops run ok.

does your computer have an integrated display (netbook)? if so then i guess thats the maximum resolution you will get out of it
