    Help finding High Quality Portable Projector

    I'm looking for a high quality, portable, 2500+ lumen projector with a dvi connector. It seems like most portables don't have DVI since they don't go HD. It's going to be used in a classroom-type environment, so lights will most likely be on. EDIT: In the $3000-4000 price range

    Running a program in resolution compatibility mode (WinXP)

    I'm trying to run the program at 800x600, while the normal resolution is 1280x1024. I know when I right click on it, in the compatibility tab I can check off "Run in 640x480", but there's nothing there for 800x600. Is there a suffix I can add to the shortcut to have it run in the desired resolution?
