Guest John Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Re: Allow user to change display settings 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?

Guest John Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Re: Allow user to change display settings Forget what I said. It's "DPI" settings, not display resolution. My bad, sorry.

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. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot
