I am making Pacman and it runs just fine so far but at home I work on a 1024 X 768 pixels desktop. When I bring it to school which is 640 X 480 pixels my program is all messed up. There is fortress at my school so I can't go and change it. I was wondering if there is a way to change the desktop settings using code. I know it still might not work cause of fortress but if you know a way how to do it excluding the fortress I would like to know. Thanks

Go here:
http://www.vb-world.net/graphics/tips.html

and get the Tip "Changing The Screen's Resolution" By Steve Anderson. All of the Code is here that will allow you to change the Screen's Resolution via VB code. You should read and run the program as is.....it
will open with the current Screen Resolution
and allow you to change it. You could then
modify it to fit your situation.....Insert the pertinent information into the start of your Pacman Program such that no matter what the present client screen is set at it will be reset to the resolution that your program
requires.

Agh maybe not. Umm when you switch to a smaller size than what you are at now it does not rearange the desktop items so that you can see them all and it does not move the taskbar up so now the taskbar is stuck way down where you can't get to it. Does anyone have any solutions?
