3. Di ko mahanap yung registry key!!
[Answer & Solution]
**I believe the reason for not being able to find the location of the registry key is that
1) you're using a different Operating System;
2) Manufacturer's choice(?)
3) You're searching in the wrong registry hive or folder
**How to solve:
1) Use Registry Search Function! How? - Open your Regedit with Administrative previledge, press "Ctrl+F" then paste and find "Display1_DownScalingSupported"
4. I applied this tweak but nothing happens!
[Solution]
In win 7, there are more than one location where "Display1_DownScalingSupported" keys be found:
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Video\{00071107-68C8-44BC-947E-62ACCB095760}\0000
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Video\{00071107-68C8-44BC-947E-62ACCB095760}\0001
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{00071107-68C8-44BC-947E-62ACCB095760}\0000
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{00071107-68C8-44BC-947E-62ACCB095760}\0001
try to change the value of first 3 "Display1_DownScalingSupported" keys from "0" to "1". Then reboot.
Note: Do system restore first. Do it at your own risk!

**You can change your screen resolution anytime you want, from the highest (1152 x 864) to lowest (800x600) or back to the default one (1024 x 600), using right-click menu in your desktop!
**Just use higher screen resolution when you have to, if not needed then just use the default one
