Mark,You can do this with VBScript - here's a script that gets all possible video controller resolutions: ' List All Possible Video Controller Resolutions On Error Resume Next strComputer = "."

I'd like to "have fun" on a cross-platform basis; and I'm sure quite a few others would like to as well. The most 'fun' would be had were this capability [to detect all possible screen resolutions an end-user's monitor supports] and the ability to change end--users' screen resolutions native to RunRev. As my children seem to play endless games on Mac and Linux that do reset the screen resolution (and put it back to its original one once the games quits) I cannot belive it is unduly difficult. Last time I raised this issue all sorts of people got "hot under the collar" and said that it "wasn't cricket to muck around with end-users' screen resolutions"; funny really when games do it all the time! Mind you, I have yet to see a game of virtual cricket on a computer . . . :) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
