Boot from a dos disk with the TP stuff installed and issue the command: ps2.exe expn on (or something like that, i don't have my tp around). (a ps2.exe help | more will do miracles :)) BUT, i don't do this on my 760. Why? 1) it is only 800x600, so the screen is not that small 2) the letters are just plain ugly! 3) if i don't use it, i can still get a bigger screen using vidcontrol mode 80x30. It doesn't get as big as normal, but still makes some difference, and you get 5 more lines :) If I am correct, your 770 will allow resolutions up to 1024, no? So maybe you can even use mode 80x43 ...
