After reading the fantastic review in GamesTM, I downloaded the demo on my mac, and have instantly pre-ordered! loved the artstyle, music, puzzles and humour.

I've downloaded it to my nc10 netbook, and while the game looks and performs perfectly. I have a problem in that the screen is a bit too small for the game, and the options bar at the bottom is not visible. is there a way round this? keyboard shortcut to fit to screen perhaps?

Do you have the updated version of flash player? I read someone with a problem similiar to yours fixed it that way.

i just tried installing the latest flash player, but it hasn't helped.  Sad

Another question i have is does my pre-order entitle me to both the PC and Mac versions of the game, or do I have to select only one?

Perhaps you'll find a solution that'll work for in the Amanita Design Blog discussion about the demo?

Thanks for your reply ABoretz, but it's not my mac that's causing the problem, its on my Samsung NC10 netbook, running win xp. the screen is only 1040 x 600.

"Kevin" is me. ;o)
I see at the bottom of the main Machinarium site (http://machinarium.net/) that it says the minimum screen resolution for the game is 1024x768, so you may simply be out of luck regarding your netbook. =o(
