How do I increase the screen resolution from 1024x600 to 1024x768 on HP Mini 210-4128er?

I installed Windows 8, and for some applications there is a minimum resolution of 1024x768, but I have the properties of a maximum of 1024x600. Is there a way to increase the resolution?

If that is the native resolution of your tablet, there is no way to increase it to that level since there is simply not enough physical pixels to draw the desktop onto.

Many netbooks come with a default 1024x600 pixels (or similar) small screen resolution, which can cause problems in some apps or a lot of awkward scrolling. If you want to increase the amount of screen real estate you have on your netbook or be able to use apps that require higher-resolution displays (such as the Metro-style apps in the Windows 8 Developer Preview), you might be able to change a registry setting called "Display1_DownScalingSupported" in Windows to get options for higher resolutions. Here's how to search for the setting and change it:

1. Go to the Start menu and type in regedit in the search box, then hit Enter.

2. Scroll up on the left pane to make sure you are at the very top of the tree.

3. At the top menu, go to Edit then Find... and search for Display1_DownScalingSupported

4. Change each instance you find (you'll likely find 2 results for this) from 0 to 1. Make sure you change every found instance, because otherwise the hack won't work (in my experience).

5. Once done, restart the system.
