| 5898 | 2000-08-17 10:35:00 | First up I would like to say your magazine is great, all the advice is on the money, well done PC World. I am writing for a little bit of advice to do with your article ?Automatically change your screen? in your ?how to ? answer line? June 2000. I have amended the batch file as follows: start /w 'C:\downloads\multires.exe' /800,600,8 start /w 'C:\KPSDLUX\PICKER.EXE' 'C:\downloads\multires.exe' /800,600,24 cls I run this program at a school to change from 24 bit true colour to 256 colours then run Kidspic then change back to 24 bit true colour at the end. What I have had trouble with is if the screen is already in 256 colour the batch file locks ? what I need is error checking. If screen colour NOT 256 colours change to 256 colours Else Do nothing. Start KidsPic. If screen colour NOT 24 bit true colour change to 24 bit colour Else Do nothing. I hope you can help? Cheers Wayne |
