My monitor is a 1280x800. I've finally found the switch in Control Panel -> Display which allows for resolutions not supported by the monitor and selected 1280x1024. So I have to scroll up and down a bit but not very much since most of the time the important stuff fits in 800px.

The real pain of the interface, if anything, is in the way the elevation, azimuth and distance have to be dragged around for adjustment - the interface just isn't very smooth or predictable and I'm sure that the wheels they used in the real thing would be more consistent and precise. The guy would be better off just drawing out the wheels, letting us click it and then use keyboard arrow commands rather than that dragging interface.
