First you should check the resolution of you're laptops screen. Make sure it's maxed out. After that load CoX into your main comp and go to the options menu and adjust it down. I'll keep the same size on the laptop. Once it's small enough you can refine it on the laptop. I'd recommend setting separate toon's for your laptop and PC.|

Alternatively you should be able to hook up your laptop to your PC's monitor and use that to fix the settings.
Or just go in under Safe Mode on the laptop and adjust them from there.
Dec out.
TweakCoH is also handy for this.

It's a program that lets you adjust CoH settings without starting the game. The resolution settings are in the "Display" section. Uncheck full screen and set the display res to something that'll fit on your screen. You can resize from there.
EDIT: Just a note that I would probably not modify any of the other graphics settings. The program pre-dates ultra mode and I'm unsure how it interacts. Stuff on the display tab works great though.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'll give your tips a try.
Would the "Windowed mode" display option (so you can see the start menu in the bottom left hand side of the screen) and clicking on the "maximize for window" button in the upper right hand corner of COX lead to the same results?
