Hi,

I got stumped on this question, I hope someone can help.

In Windows XP, several accounts are setup. How do I set a
different screen resolution for each?

Is it possible in Windows? Are there third party programs
that can be used to do this?

Thanks everyone and have a happy and prosperous new year!

Unfortunately, XP does not support user-independent screen resolutions. All
the settings are shared between the accounts. I remember reading that
there's a program you can use to reset the resolution per-user in XP, but
I'm not sure what the name is. You may be able to find it by searching
these groups using Google.

Good luck.

Thanks for your quick reply. If anyone knows of any third
party software for this, please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi
I had exactly the same problem and posted an almost identical question. Was recommended and am now using a product called Multires, which does everything I need. I'm not sure where I retrieved it from, I think it might be from www.entechtaiwan.com. Give that a go.
