   Re: Windows Display Settings

   From: HarvestWind@comcast.net   
      
   I am developing with a setting of 1024 X 768.  When I install it on my boss'   
   computer, he has a setting of about 800 X 600...and the windows don't   
   fit...have to scroll this way and that to get to see everything.  If  I   
   could reset it for my program only when it is running, then there would be   
   no problem...just wondered if it could be done...(or even should be done)...   
      
   thanks.
