dllcall to ChangeDisplaySettings trows -2 , but arguments for _ChangeScreenRes() where fine (1024,768,32,50).
setres from Ian Sharpe does work, changes where applied.
bad displaydriver? or hardwarebug?

I assume this is a Win7 PE?
Not sure what could be the problem and it's interesting that setres works. Do you know what function it calls to set resolution, or if it does something additional like in the current case where ChangeDisplaySettings isn't working properly?
Thanks,
Galapo.

Check a few things:
1. Whether passing just the values 1024x768 works.
2. Whether passing a slightly smaller setting works, say 800x600.
I see SetRes does something a little differently. SetResolution first does a ChangeDisplaySettings call with CDS_TEST and then if that was successful another call with CDS_UPDATEREGISTRY, while SetRes only does a call with CDS_UPDATEREGISTRY. I don't know whether that is significant or not.

Galapo.

could this be the problem?MSDN ChangeDisplaySettings
The dmSize member of DEVMODE must be initialized to the size, in bytes, of the DEVMODE structure.
The dmDriverExtra member of DEVMODE must be initialized to indicate the number of bytes of private driver data following the DEVMODE structure.
if i switch from 800x600 to 1024x768, i get the error.
what does help for me:
Local $B = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "EnumDisplaySettings", "ptr", 0, "long", $ENUM_REGISTRY_SETTINGS, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($DEVMODE))
DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ChangeDisplaySettings", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($DEVMODE), "int", $CDS_RESET)
another idea:
$regKey = "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\UnitedVideo\CONTROL\VIDEO\"
$regKey &= RegEnumKey($regKey,1) & "\0000\"
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.XResolution","REG_DWORD",$i_Width)
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.YResolution","REG_DWORD",$i_Height)
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel","REG_DWORD",$i_BitsPP)
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.VRefresh","REG_DWORD",$i_RefreshRate)
$regKey &= RegEnumKey($regKey,1)
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.XResolution","REG_DWORD",$i_Width)
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.YResolution","REG_DWORD",$i_Height)
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel","REG_DWORD",$i_BitsPP)
RegWrite($regKey,"DefaultSettings.VRefresh","REG_DWORD",$i_RefreshRate)
then reload settings with $CDS_RESET possibly ?

Thanks,
Galapo.
by the way: how do i stop it from evaluating resolutions again and again, switching between 640x480 and 800x600 (after i closed the helpwindow)?
whats the commandline, to switch resolution and exit without further actions?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're meaning. Please describe a bit more of what's happening.by the way: how do i stop it from evaluating resolutions again and again, switching between 640x480 and 800x600 (after i closed the helpwindow)?
whats the commandline, to switch resolution and exit without further actions?
Some examples:
SetResolution.exe -hide -exit -r1024x768
SetResolution.exe -hide -exit -r1024x768x32
SetResolution.exe -hide -exit -r-1x-1x32
Note: a different refresh rate cannot be set from the commandline. If someone wants this feature added, it should be too difficult to implement.

if i simply start setresolution.exe and close the help-dialog, it evaluates resolutions again and again (switching between them), but does not succeed with 1024x768. only 800x600 and 640x480 where set.Sorry, I'm not sure what you're meaning. Please describe a bit more of what's happening.

Hi fagoranch,
Thanks for the report. Glad that works -- just have to work out why. It could be the setting of PruningMode, or else the more complete function.
boot-land.net subdomains are still down, so I'll have to attach the file to this post rather than updating the test link already give. Can you test this version for me:
[Attachment removed as test complete; see below]
Regarding the repeated changing after closing the gui, it's definitely not supposed to do that and I can't see a reason why it is. I can't reproduce on my hardware.

Galapo.

verified again: your testscript works. but the new setresolution.exe does not.
PS: works without "pruningmode" too for me.

Hi fagoranch,
Thanks again for testing.
I guess the result means that it is the more complete function that makes the difference. I've added this and am hoping that this next test version will work for you.

yes,works.
but should
DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $HWND_BROADCAST, "int", $WM_DISPLAYCHANGE, _
"int", $SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS, "int", 0)
not resize all windows to its old state?
maximised windows will stay after 1024x768 > 800x600 and back to 1024x768 on 800x600 with attribute "maximised". the should expand back to 1024x768.
PS:
"SetResolution -hide -exit -r800x600" does set resolution to 800x600 AND BACK TO 1024x768

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $HWND_BROADCAST, "int", $WM_DISPLAYCHANGE, _

Hopefully this will work for you.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you meant.
Do you mean that resolution was at 1024x768 then you ran "SetResolution.exe -hide -exit -r800x600" and it sized to 800x600 without reverting back to 1024x768?
Thanks,
Galapo.

it does revert back to 1024x768. 
and the windows, maximised under 1024x768 stay in maximised state, but with windowsize 800x600. i have to click the maximisebutton twice, to unmaximise and then remaximise to windowsize 1024x768.
if you like, send me the source via pm and i will debug this for you.

Thanks for the report. I found the bug -- it was happening when running from the commandline only without SetResolution already running.it does revert back to 1024x768.
I see what you mean. When using DisplayProperties and clicking 'Apply', then maximised state windows are sized correctly and other windows that would have been off the screen are moved into view. I'm not sure how to do this. I'll send you the sourcecode for you to have a try.and the windows, maximised under 1024x768 stay in maximised state, but with windowsize 800x600. i have to click the maximisebutton twice, to unmaximise and then remaximise to windowsize 1024x768.

have found that your testscript does work fine! 
this code does even resize all windows fine:
need some time to understand the source, because it is comprehensive.
if you see the difference (find the bug), please leave me a note.

Hi fagoranch,
Thanks for that. It made another idea come into my head and I've coded a new version which is working well for me (resizing windows if too large etc like what DisplayProperties does).
See if this works for you.

Galapo.

finaly works as expected!
now i see; the second moment, when the screen goes black is the resizing of the windows.
we have got it!
hopefully it will work for all other situations too now.
can you tell me, what you have changed?

Sure, here's the modified function:
Whether we want to extend that to minimised windows. But that's going to be a bit tricky as WinMove function doesn't work on minimised windows.

Necro bump!
Galapo, I point users to your program for the Gimagex HTA x64 build:
http://www.msfn.org/...post__p__885861
I am building the WinPE 4.0 x64 version of this and the SetResolution-x64.exe does not work. Not testing on a VM, so no screenshot. Here is the error:
Just an FYI in case this project is still active or not. Apparently, WinPE 4 seems to not need this as previous versions, since it defaulted to the native resolution of the display I am using.
