Lewis, try this command from Start/Run and see if it works OK: rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3
On my machine this open the Display Options with the Settings tab selected. (W2K) In Director, with the help of BuddyAPI it would look like this: baRunProgram( "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3", "normal", false) OR without Xtras: open "CONTROL.EXE Desk.CPL,,3" I would go for the BuddyAPI solution, though.
