I am running Sacred Gold on my acer one-it has everything to do with the resolution.I stumbled onto this answer at http://www.myasuseee.com/increase-your-scr...windows-7-hack/ after an unsuccessful hunt for an acer utility.
Here's what you do-- Type in Win+R and put ‘regedit’ (without the quotes) into the box.
- Search for ‘Display1_DownScalingSupported’ and change the value from ‘0′ to ‘1′
Then you need to restart your computer. Afterwards you should be able to scale your screen resolution to something larger than your computer’s physical restraints. However, be aware that these tweaks might not work on all netbooks (it was tested by users on the 1000H, 1005He or the 1005HA Asus devices) and might cause software instability when changing between options.
also I had to run the game fullscreen.good luck
