Have you tried using the zoom control bottom right, just above the time. Click on the tiny down arrow and select reduce, 75% or 50%

I've had a few programmes with screen resolution requirements like yours, both of my Mercedes parts and maintenance programmes do that.

The screen resolution seems to be hard programmed for use with large format VDUs - something that a lot of web designers seem to use nowadays as well - so you end up with screen views extending beyond the physical screen width of the older style and smaller sized VDUs. Or views that get resized and the resolution drops.

Unless there is a screen resolution option in the programme preferences tab, I dont hold out much hope for being able to change it via the programme. You can attach a little batch file to the programme icon which will reset screen resolution prior to starting the programme. Do a lookup on .bat filea or batch files for some sort of tutorial.

If you have access to a large format screen you can check whether my guess is right or not.
