Display scaling

Free version 4.1, Windows XP, RealVNC newbie.
When I connect to the host machine (1280x1024) from my laptop (1024x768)
I get an unscalable window displaying a portion of the host machine's screen,
and have to scroll around to interact with all of it. I'd rather not.
I can get the entire screen by 1) changing the host machine's display to 1024x
768 and 2) hitting F8 on the laptop and selecting full-screen mode. Again, I'd
rather not. Running in full-screen mode isn't such an issue, but I
don't care to
change my host machine's display settings every time I want to run a VNC
session (and the laptop's display settings are maxed).
A look through the list archives reveals that user-side display
rescaling is not
available in the free version. This implies to me that I should at
least be able to
contol this on the server side, no? If so, how?
Thanks!
