Hmm - odd.

Someone has run a 1280 by 768 laptop by setting the windowed screen display to 1280 by 1024. (I cannot tell as I do not have a laoptop with strange non-standard disply to test on, my IBM has a standard 1024 by 768 windows desktop).

It could simply be that some DirectX drivers will work with such a request for a screen > screen resolution, but yours do not?.

Try running in Windowed mode with the Windows GDI graphics mode, since your DirectX driver is having problems with a request for 1280 by 1024. That should work.
