Steve, Would Multires work for you? http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/multires.shtm We've used that on machines in our labs before. You can set it to run in the system start up script either by group policy, or the local group policy of the machine (gpedit.msc). Once the machine is rebooted the startup script with the command line interface will set the screen and video mode to the proper mode. This allows for people to be able to change the screen resolutions, but return to normal once they have been rebooted.

I have a Dell in a lecturn, which can be displayed on an overhead projector. My problem is folks often don't know how to use it, and wind up twiddling with things, messing the config of the machine up such that others can't use it to project onto the screen. Now, part of the problem may well be hardware. It's an older Dell with an early ATI dual-head video card and I'm fairly sure that it looses its little mind from time to time, and shuts the 2nd head off, making for a merry time getting it back again. So, in the case of a machine thats physically out there, what things do you do to make it "just work" for people? Thanks! --STeve Andre' Political Science
