I tried to install CyberLink's PowerDVD 9 on a friend's netbook. The installation went OK (even though the install screen is too big to fit and you can't see the "Next >" buttons etc.), but once installed, PowerDVD 9 refuses to launch.

It claims it requires at least 1024x768 resolution - the Acer netbook has 1024x600 :-(

Any way / hack / trick to get PowerDVD9 to work anyway?? Couldn't it scale down to e.g. 800x600?
