Ugh...DPP wont install on my netbook

Didnt realize there was a minimum screen resulotion required. My netbook only goes up to 1024x600.

Bummer, good to know. Netbooks generally lack the CPU & RAM to do serious photo editing anyway.

A friend of mine got DPP to run on an even smaller screen with a workaround. Not sure exactly how, but IIRC he somehow set a higher screen res, then started DPP, then reset the screen res.

Agree 100%. Download Faststone. It's great for viewing images for culling of obvious duds. If you need to do raw processing then you really, really don't want to be doing it on a netbook.

I agree. But you cant beat the weight and portability of a netbook. I'm a noob and have been thinking about shooting in RAW lately.

To René Damkot, perhaps you can ask your friend how he/she achieved it. My netbook max res is 1024x600 and I've tried the method in your link, but no go. Also, I'd rather not have to hook up an external monitor to install/use DPP. Thanks again.

I have a netbook too and wouldn't attempt to do any serious editing in it, the screen just doesn't seem that easy to calibrate and is very reflective, so getting the right color would be very difficult. I use Picasa to get it "about right" & do any real editing on the desktop. I did load Paint.net on it for occasional more involved editing and it's working OK. Did you try a freeware RAW converter eg UFraw ?

You're right though, IMHO for most purposes the netbook beats the "regular" laptop as far as convenience goes; and they are not that sluggish either, definitely better / faster than my old laptop.

I asked & he had an EEE PC (Asus) with software which allowed him to boost the monitor resolution.

Thanks to all. I have a samsung nc10 and it has software also to up the res larger then the screen and use the mouse to scroll the screen. I did not look too deeply into the matter from the beginning. Now DPP installs and runs fine for light editing

just untick control panel->display->montor->advanc¬ed->monitor->hide modes or use external monitor

My netbook runs Ubuntu Linux and comes with Gimp, plenty of other free viewing/editing software available.

I use Faststone to view my RAW images in the field (or at least the imbedded JPG's). Works fine. I would not attempt nor need to do any editing when I am using my Netbook (travel).

Running DPP 3.9.2 no problem on my ASUS netbook also. Native 1024 x 600 screen. A boost to 768 solved the installation issue. I won't actually edit on the tiny screen, but when hooked up to a 1900 x 1200 ViewSonic screen, it works fine.

I use a dell 10V. Canon software does require 1024x768 resolution, but it doesn't require that the main screen is that resolution. To install Canon utilities, plug another monitor into its video output and install.

If DPP only checks on install like EOS utility does, the fix is very simple and will take you only a few seconds.

Connect your netbook's VGA DSUB out to your desktop monitor. Even the crappy imbedded Intel video has enough oomph to push high resolutions on external displays.

Once you're using the external display, up the resolution to anything over 1024x768.

Install DPP and the rest of the Canon stuff as you see fit.

Disconnect the external display, reverting the netbook to it's own. My little HP uses a really odd native resolution, and even my eeePC has a slightly higher one.

Edit: lol, yhea I should read more carefully. Henry covered it for you.

Start DPP. If it's anything like EOS utility, it won't skip a beat. It should work fine from that point on.
