Setting Screen Resolution

[Tourless]

Hi Folks.

I have a dedicated machine that runs 90% of my macros, but it's headless (no monitor). With that, windows occasionally and without warning decides to dumb down the resolution to a standard minimum of 1024 X 768. This, of course, messes up all my macros that rely on coorinates to point and click various elements on the screen.

Can MacroScheduler set the screen resolution to let's say 1920 X 1080?

No but you would probably want to insert a dummy HDMI plug or similar to be sure that the resolution stays the same.

I don't know why I never thought of that. Good idea, thank you,

I have a similar issue because I use an 8 port KVM. If the monitor is off or the KVM isn't pointing at a PC as it reboots (think automatic updates) I also drop back to 1990's resolution. Its really just an irritation, None of my scripts will fail, but if anyone has a solution I'd like to hear it.

hi there
we include this in our scripts:

Macro code is:
Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>"%SCRIPT_DIR%\qres" /x:1920 /y:1080
Let>RP_WAIT=0

using qres.exe
Hope that helps!
