The game itself offers only the choice to switch between full screen and windowed mode. As with all of our games it will display only in a fixed resolution, which for VV5 is 1024x768.

You probably don't want to go through a lot of hassle for a game, but if you have an older display around that's 4:3, you could probably attach it to your netbook and set the display resolution to allow you to run the game that way.
