Chris,

Either get a vid card/monitor combo that can do the resolution, or find
one of those desktop extenders that does exactly what timbos suggestion
does on laptops.  (Laptops have some hardware to handle this situation
that a desktop with a CRT monitor does not have).

**There is no other solution, the program was written to that resolution,
we don't have the source code to change it...so you are SOL.**

http://www.download.com/Enable-Virtual-Desktop/3000-2346_4-10277787.html?tag=lst-0-3

That tool might do what you want (have a second virtual desktop that is
larger than your normal one).  Something to try, I haven't done much
research on this all of my computer equipment is newer than 10 years
old...
