Canon EOS utility doesn't work on a low-resolution netbook — any alternatives?

Question

I want my Canon 60D to display a live video feed in my netbook, so that I can use it as an external display to have a bigger video preview. Unfortunately, Canon EOS Utility doesn't want to install, saying I need a resolution 1024*768 or higher (my netbook has 1024*600). As google tells me, this is a common problem.

How can I go around this problem, or what alternative software can I use to have a live video feed in my netbook? I have Windows XP and Ubuntu 11.04 both installed on it. I can use either to solve this problem.

Answer

Do you have a VGA output?

You could set a second display with a 1024*768 resolution and hopefully trick the EOS Utility installer.
