Wont Run on NetBook

[Post New]by Sulit43 on Jul 20, 09 2:40 AM
This game can not be played on screen resos smaller than 1024 x 768. Tried to launch it on my NetBook at 1024 x 600 and received an error dialog which leaves the app open but windowless.

There are a lot of games that won't run on NetBooks or mini laptops. Current industry standard for PC games is 1024 x 768 resolution, although some of them are still made that are compatible with 800x600 resolution. Windowed mode with a game that can do 800x600 mode should work, but I don't know of any easy way to check the min resolution required for a game before downloading it, other than to ask somebody who has the game to check the size when its in windowed mode.

It looks like Zen Games was released two years ago, before netbooks were all that common. So, you might have some trouble running it on a netbook. You shouldn't have any trouble running newer games on a netbook. The best advice is to check the system specs on each game page to make sure it will run on your computer. Also, if a game has a trial version, play the trial version first to make sure it runs on your computer before you purchase it.
