You cannot do it using internal tools... You must use some external utils (dont remember exactly name) or maybe try to find WMI class for it and do it through WMIC/vbs

[rikgale]

Search for a tool called 1365VidChng.exe

place it in you system32 folder and then you can call it and pass it the screen res. and refresh rate as params.

As an example......

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\1365VidChng.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q

Get the .exe and do a /? on it to get the full list of params. Doesn't/will not work on a VPC or VMware install, but does work on a real computer as long as the video drivers are installed 1st

I know but noone said it wasnt for Win9x either

Back on subject, the current 32-bit version of the fore-mentioned is MultiRes 1.54, for scripting examples click here.
