billboard is so stubborn

[crystalxp]

Hi everyone

I apologize if this posted before I mean I have searched for 9 days using every possible search method with no luck or straight forward clue of how to solve this, and now I'm on the verge of going insane trying to solve this problem for weeks.

Look at the screenshot and feed me back if you know how to make the billboard picture resize to 1024x768 or to 800x600 regardless of the stage the batch will kick in.

I have succeeded of integrating my drivers using method 2, and also went great with nlite RC7 … but still I get the same result "the screen respond to the batch but the billboard remains at the ugliest resolution in the world 640x480".

The code I'm using

@echo off

1365VidChng.exe 800X600X32@1 -q 
1365VidChng.exe 800X600X32@85 -q 
1365VidChng.exe 800X600X32@70 -q 
1365VidChng.exe 800X600X32@60 -q


1365VidChng.exe 1024X768X32@1 -q
1365VidChng.exe 1024X768X32@85 -q 
1365VidChng.exe 1024X768X32@70 -q 
1365VidChng.exe 1024X768X32@60 -q


EXIT

Have you ever succeeded doing the billboard working on higher resolution in real PC OR Virtual Machine is it possible or do I have to redesign my billboard down to 640x480 to fit ok with xplode,because I'm using xplode to integrate 50 software.

remember the batch is kicking but the billboard is so stubborn.....help

thanx

Well I was thinking you could use the microsoft picture resize powertoy to resize the background but who knows what you can do for the text and bulletpoints...

Hi TD I appreciate your respond indeed:

Well I used WinntbbuED.exe to build my billboard for the flexibility and the ease it provides, so I don't think that I would need to do anything with the size of the wallpaper because the original resolution of the wallpaper is already 1024x768, and it should resize automatically with the screen ....that's why I'm going insane I don't know if I should just deal with 640x480 and redesign my xplode to fit there or wait for some nice smart buddy to help

help

Hi there , but how i'm gonna be able to use my billboard then ... i'ts to change the whole process to a classic style so whats the point? in my normal installation xplode will starts in T-9 and i need the resolution to change before that time not after,,, maybe if there is a way to install the vga driver before the first boot and then i place the batch at the start of T-39....can i do that? or is there a way for that? my driver is Gforce 6800GT
