The resolution of my monitor is 1920 x 1080. However, the ScrResolution() function returns
{ 1536, 864 }. Why ?

Uwe Do You know, if the existing Resolution is written to a File or Registry ? Reg => HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JOConnell\DeskTop You can define a registry storage name too. More info in the rtf info in the download. I have just been looking at some of Jamie oConnell's code on the website - undo...

Jonathan,

Thank You very much.
This Solution works fine for me.

Uwe This is great! I downloaded a command line desktop restor from http://www.midiox.com/desktoprestore.htm and used the following at the start    IF nScrwidth <> 1024 .and. nScrheight <> 768      // Copyright   2010 by Jamie O'Connell http:/...

I still have a Question about the Position of Desktop-Icons. After changing the Screen-resolution it is possible, that Icons are displayed on different Places. For that Reason, there are some Freeware-prog*s available ( external ) to save and restore Icon-positions. Is it maybe possible, to do this ...

Thanks Uwe and Daniel, I compiled this example, but it does not do anything at all other than blinking the screen once each time I press the button. By the way I unplugged the extra monitors and only left one working, and still does not do anything... (this is weird, since I realize that it is Windo...

Thanks Daniel, That is why I compiled Uwe's sample... I did not get the error, but the resolution does not changes.... By the way, the resolution in your sample should be supported in my system!!! http://www.mayapos.com/FiveWin/resolution.jpg Maybe it has something to do that I have ...

Yes I did; I got a dialog Alert:

Byron

did you tested my sample?

Am I missing something???

I Compiled Uwe's sample, but the resolution does not changes!!!!

When I press escape to exit, I see the screen blink, but nothing else happens!!!!

Daniel, Thank You very much. This Function works GREAT without any Problems. As well the RESET, to restore the old Screen-resolution after finishing the Application. No Validation needed ( works in silent Mode ). It's funny, that calling original API-functions, making Problems. CHANGEDISLPAYRESOLUTI...
