Tips & Tricks, Windows 8, Windows 8.1
Windows 8, despite all the flak it has received for forcing it’s tiles-based Modern UI on to users, is actually a very good upgrade to Windows 7 – it’s faster, lighter and it offers a good set of new features – but it comes with a catch: you need a display resolution of at least 1024×768 to install it. This isn’t a problem for most people, but a sizable chunk of the computing crowd own netbooks, most of which come with a 1024×600 display, such as the Asus Eee PC 1005HA.
In order to resolve this issue, users can log on to the Windows 8 computer with administrator credentials and modify the registry settings. Modifying the registry enables Windows 8 to open the apps even when the screen resolution is low.
