Technical Wizard Wanted: Canon DPP misbehaving!
Recently I switched from using a 48" Panasonic Viera as a display monitor, connected to my P.C.(Windows 7) by a VGA cable. I have now connected a new 42" Viera, using HDMI cabling to my P.C. When I try to start Canon's Digital Photo Professional to process RAW images from my 6D, thsi message appears: "This program requires a display capable of 1024 x 768 resolution or more (screen area) and High Color or higher settings."
The TV display is set to 1920 x 1080 - i.e. more than the requirement.
DPP will not open. I have also tried setting its compatability to Windows XP.
Any bright ideas out there to resolve this would be most gratefully received, if someone else has coped successfully with this.

In case the suspense is killing you, I have now discovered that changing the colour setting, counter-intuitively to my mind, to a lower quality: 32 >16 in the Display settings on the P.C. allows DPP to appear on the TV being used as monitor.

Apparently there is something in Windows 7 which DPP 'latest version has an issue with when trying to connect to very large LCD monitors. I am no techie but I seem to have resolved it now.
