WinPE 2.0/2.1 Display Resolution

[gregorsamsa11]

My WinPE 2.0 image seems to default to an 800x600 display resolution. I read that it should default to the highest supported resolution, so I assumed that I needed to add a graphics driver for my hardware. I did that, but it still defaults to 800x600. Is there any way to attempt to force a new resolution from the command line?

Have you tried a different display? I get different resolutions on different monitors, including different LCD displays. I've never had to install a video driver.

Also, Geezery uses the following VBScript to set the screen resolution, however it runs after wpeinit, so I am not sure if it actuall will resize the actual screen, or the HTA that contains the script. On the current version, this info is on line 63-77. This also requires you to include the Scripting and WMI packages into your PE if you haven't already.

Um, Trip....What script????

Anyway, I use an AutoIt script using the functions here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...changescreenres

From the imagex.hta file. I didn't know if I was allowed to post the code snippet, so I just referenced the line numbers.
