VidRes V1.1
-----------

What is VidRes?
---------------
VidRes is an easy to use Windows utility that enables you to quickly switch 
the display resolution of your machine without making the change permanent.

Installation
------------
VidRes is supplied as a compressed file archive. Copy the compressed file to 
an empty floppy disk or new sub-directory on your hard disk & extract the 
files. Copy VidRes.exe to a suitable sub-directory and create a shortcut to it 
on your desktop.

Requirements
------------
Windows 95, or Windows NT 3.51, and MFC30.DLL for run-time support.

Use
---
The default operation of VidRes (invoked without any command line parameters) 
displays a simple dialog box containing a list of all the possible display 
resolutions. VidRes prefaces each item with a display mode number that you can 
use directly with VidRes by passing the mode number as a command line 
parameter. Items with a marker '', indicate that Windows can switch directly 
to that mode without having to restart your machine. It's these marked modes 
that you are likely to want to use. If you choose to use an unmarked mode, 
VidRes prompts you that it needs to make the change permanent and will ask you 
to restart your machine.

Use VidRes interactively to find the mode numbers you want to use. Then, 
create desktop shortcuts with the mode number as a command line parameter so 
that you can easily switch between the modes you use.

For example I have 2 items:
"E:\vidres\vidres.exe 2"	that switches my display to standard VGA mode, and
"E:\vidres\vidres.exe 4"	that switched to 1024x768 resolution.

The actual mode numbers depend on the type of your video card.

Notes
-----
This version of VidRes runs under Windows NT 3.51, but is limited to showing 
the possible display modes; it is unable to effect a mode change. A future 
release of Windows NT should allow VidRes to work correctly.

Uses For VidRes
---------------
To switch between high resolution modes and standard VGA resolution when 
playing Windows games that would otherwise only occupy a small area of the 
display.

Feedback we have had from early users has indicated that it's of use for 
developers designing Windows applications. Here it allows you to quickly check 
the visual aspects of your user interface design at different display 
resolutions.
