display control panel component

J

John Booth

I am using an existing Windows XP embedded build and the display
control panel component has not been enabled so I can't change the
screen resolution or any other display settings.

The file desk.cpl is present in the system32 directory but it does
nothing, no message no anything.

Is there any way I can enable the display control panel component
without having to rebuild my drive?

Regards
John Booth

I don't know about enabling the display control panel, but if you don't find
a way to do it and want to change your resolution, you can change it in the
registry. Just do a search for "XResolution" and "YResolution". They will
show up in various places (backup keys, etc.) so just change them to your
desired settings in all places.

Hi
There is a windows API: ChangeDisplaySettings().
It can be used to set: Bits per pixel, Screen resolution, Mode frequency
I am using it since I have no Control Panel.
