How can I allow a user to change their display settings (dpi) without making
them an administrator on the local machine.

Make th em a Power User or some other subset.
 
Limited user accounts should be able to change display resolutions. I have
no problem changing my resolution and I don't have admin permissions. Btw,
I'm using XP Pro. What's yours?

You don't need to do anything. Unfortunately, normal (i.e., limited)
users can change the display settings. Unfortunately, this leads to
many blank displays and/or monitor "Out of Range" errors when uneducated
users pick display settings beyond the monitor's capabilities.
