can't install DPP on my netbook

I am hoping to shoot tethered with my 5D & netbook - but when I try to run the Eos digital solution disc, it won't install the EOS utility - says not enough screen resolution.

Lightroom installed ok & so did zoom browser - so I am really confused.


My screen resolution is 1024 x 600 but I don't know what screen resolution the EOS utility needs.

It's a know bug/requirement. Plug the netbook into an external monitor just while you install the software.

Hi - thanks- in the interim I managed to find out how to reset the resolution.

A bit inconvenient, needing to scroll the screen.

DPP demands 1024x768 at a minimum...

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

Whoa okh, talk about digging up the past.

Anyone else that runs across this, connect your netbook to an external display and set the resolution over 1024x768. Install DPP/EOS util/etc and then disconnect the display.

You're done.

I had to find an older driver version for my intel video card to make that happen.
