It is necessary to make screen/window size for notebook (1280x800, etc.).
Use the CD version in windowed mode. Setting the window resolution to a size greater than the desktop resolution, and the window will use the desktop size, less the area allocated to the windows task bar (Which must be set to no auto-hide and be at the normal place on the bottom of the screen, and standard height). As already described in the "tuning your machine" section of the Game Guide.

Therefore, for a 1280 by 800 wide-screen laptop, select 1280 by 1024 (or even 1600!) and it will fill only the available desktop screen area. And it'll leave the task bar so you can see email notifications, the clock etc.

This is how several of our playtesters play on their laptops. (My IBM has a standard 1024 by 768 LCD so I cannot verify).

Cheers
Andy
