Change screen resolution from systray or keystroke.

Guess that's self explanatory. If not please let me know what else you need.

What is your video card?

Nvidia GeForce2 MX

Incidentaly, I can add they're utility to my systray but I have to rightclick on it, then click on \"Adjust Display Properties\" and then slide the res bar and click close.

I'm looking for less keystrokes.

Update your forceware drivers if needed and you should be able to use this:

That will work Krom, thanks.

This is even better for me.

\"MultiRes works well. You can either run it as a tray icon (two-click access to any resolution you want), or make shortcuts like \"multires.exe /1024,768,32\" and use those to create global hotkeys.

It handles multiple monitors too, if that's useful.\"

I think you can also add a key stroke too. I set up a key stroke to change between my dad's LCD desktop screen and his wide screen TV, he has a GF4 MX card.

Is the keystroke for the GeForce utility or Multres?

How did you do it?

It doesn't matter what video card you have: PowerStrip from Entech of Taiwan will switch resolutions at pre-assigned keystrokes - fully customisable.

Can't find anything in the Nvidia conttrol panel.
