hi all.
found this artical from the web it works for me i am pasteing this artical under

Microsoft showed a new feature in Windows 8 demos videos, its called
"Snap". You can actually run 2 Start Screen apps or one Start Screen
app and one Desktop app side-by-side using this new Snap feature.
But this new feature requires high resolution PCs and if your computer
doesn't support the requirements, this feature will not be enabled for
you.
Similarly Windows 8 comes with new metro apps but you need at least
1024x768 screen resolution to run them. If you have a lower screen
resolution system such as netbook (1024x600) and you try to open a
metro app from Start Screen, you get following error message:
This app can't open
The screen resolution is too low for this app to run.
Change your screen resolution
No need to worry! Today we are going to share 2 small registry tricks
which will help you in enabling Snap feature and running metro apps
even if your computer system doesn't meet the hardware requirements
and doesn't have higher screen resolution.
Method 1: Enable Snap Feature on Lower Screen Resolution
To enable this feature, simply follow these simple steps:
1. Press "WIN+R" key combination to launch RUN dialog box then type
regedit and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor and go to
following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\
2. Under ImmersiveShell key, create a new key AppPositioner.
3. Now select newly created key "AppPositioner" and in right-side
pane, create a new DWORD AlwaysEnableLSSnapping and set its value to 1
That's it. Restart your system or restart Explorer and you'll be able
to enjoy this cool new feature.

Method 2: Run Metro Apps on Lower Screen Resolution
To successfully run metro apps on lower screen resolution PC, simply
follow these simple steps:
1. Press "WIN+R" key combination to launch RUN dialog box then type
regedit and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
2. Now press "Ctrl+F" keys and it'll open Find dialog box. You can
also open it using "Edit -> Find" menu.
Now type following text in Find text box:
Display1_DownScalingSupported
3. Click on "Find Next" button and it'll let you go to the first
occurrence of the above mentioned registry key. Once you find a key
with the name "Display1_DownScalingSupported", change its value from 0
to 1
4. Press F3 key and it'll let you go to the next occurrence of the
text string. If you find more keys with the name
"Display1_DownScalingSupported", change values of all of them from 0
to 1
5. Once finished, close Registry Editor and restart your system.
6. After reboot, right-click on Desktop and select "Screen Resolution"
option. Now you should get 1024x768 option in the screen resolution
list. Select it and apply the changes.
7. That's it. This trick will force Windows to think that your screen
resolution is 1024x768 and you'll be able to run metro apps without
any problem.

Note I only found 1 key with Display1_DownScalingSupported
Note you can also change display resulutions from display settings in
ctrl pannel
