Autochange resolution?

Naesstrom · 05-31-2006, 12:36 PM

Hi everyone!

This is my problem... Since I still doesn't have enough money to buy a touchscreen I'm using my work laptop as carpc, connecting it to my speakersystem incar and so on...

I'm using winxp with 2 different users, one for work and one named car where I have roadrunner set to autostart... the problem is that I'm using 1400x1050 when I work but RR needs to be in 800x600... is there any way to autochange the resolution depending on what account I log in with...
Been searching some and found that the resolution is saved in the registry and machine specific, not by user... but maybe there is some software out there that I can put in autostart...

All help is nice!

ok thanks... read that now but as I understand it I need to reboot my laptop to be able to change that...

Isn't ther any simple little software anywhere out there that I can set to autostart and change the screen... can't understand why dear mister Gates didn't do anything like this in the first place!
