This is a quick and dirty program for changing screen mode, (resolution, color depth, etc.), and then optionally running a specified program. It is useful for running apps/games that only run in a specific screen mode. For example, I run this program from a shortcut to start WinTV in 640x480 mode, since WinTV's "full-screen" option will only work at this resolution, (due to limitations of my video driver).
Run the program directly, (with no parameters), for a list of screen modes supported by your display. Specify a display mode as a parameter to change the display mode. You can also specify the name of a program to run after changing the display.
C:\>scrnmode 11 "C:\Program Files\WinTV\wintv.exe"
This sets the display mode to 11, then runs "wintv.exe". If the program to run also takes parameters, include them as a third parameter to scrnmode. (Enclose multiple parameters in quotes if necessary.) To reset the display mode to the original setting, run the program with "reset" as a parameter instead of a display number.
C:\>scrnmode reset
WARNING!: Changing display modes dynamically can hang certain Windows configurations. Avoid using this program any time you have important unsaved data in open applications. Please do not blame, (or flame), me if things get messed up. |
