    Not that I'm condoning it, but if you make up an address they'd never know.

    I got my key a few days ago. (I'm legitimately from the US)

    alright...registered, got the key, downloaded vantage, typed the key in and now it says that "Required resolution 1280x1024 is not supported" and "minimum required resolution is not supported" when i try to run the benchmark, even at higher resolutions (1440x900 is my max res)

    any idea how to run it other than hook up to an external monitor?
