The max resolution on my laptop is 1366x768, so I cannot see some items in dialogue box. what to do? How can I change to 1600x1200? or how can I see all items on my dialogue box like "save" box or "OK" box at the bottom with 1366x768 resolution?
 
Solution
Your resolution choices are limited by the display panel itself, so if the native resolution is 1366x768, you cannot go higher, only lower.

An external display could allow you to go higher, assuming that display can handle it. That defeats the purpose of a laptop, though.

Sorry for the bad news.

Sorry for the probably stupid question, but are you sure its set correctly to 1366x768? This sounds like a very unusual problem to have; that resolution is common and well-supported, and that must be an extremely large dialogue box to clip out of your screen. It sounds more like something isn't setup correctly, such as if you're at a lower-than-1366x768 resolution.
