Run Metro Apps On Lower Screen Resolutions In Windows 8 less than 1024 x 768?

I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview on my Samsung NB30 netbook. I was excited to try this little picture of the cause has a touchscreen and Windows 8 is supposed to be optimized for touchscreen devices. Installation was quick and smooth and all the drivers work well, including the touch screen. There is a major problem, though: when I try to touch one of the icons in the user interface Metro shown

This application can not be opened. The screen resolution is too low for this application to run.
The machine has Intel Atom N450 processor and Intel GMA 3159 integrated graphics card and a maximum resolution of 1024x600 pixels. I read that the Metro is required of at least 1024 x 768. There is a solution to this problem? Is there a way to force Windows 8 Metro applications to run at lower resolutions?

I found a solution it does is basically 'pretend' that the screen has a 1024x728 resolution - when obviously only has 1024 x 600. The effect is fine if you want to play around with the Metro, but the graphics and all text that appears in this "artificial" resolution looks bad, I found it quite tiring to my eyes ... So I will not close this question for a while with the hope that someone comes up with a better solution. However, for get this 'artificial' highest resolution you need to modify a registry entry (I have only found one) Display1_DownScalingSupported - default is set to 0, so set to 1. After restarting your computer right-click on your Desktop and you are getting additional information from the higher resolutions.
If an external monitor as flat screen or projector is connected, the applications run fine. I know that does not help, but I hope you helps.
Enabling applications Metro:
  1. Press Win + R , type regedit and press Enter . Registry Editor will open.
  2. Now press Ctrl + F , and the dialog box will appear.
  3. Write Display1_DownScalingSupported in the "Search" box and click Find Next .
  4. Once the key is found, change its value from 0 to 1 .
  5. Press F3 , and if it finds one more call keys Display1_DownScalingSupported , change all the 0 values ​​one as good.
  6. Restart the device.
  7. After restart, change the screen resolution of 1024 × 768 and apply the changes.
Yes, that's true - at least you have to get a screen resolution of 1024x768. There is a way that lets you change the screen resolution on your netbook, install applications and the use of Windows 8 normally, like any other team.
