Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understand this correctly, this "hack" recompiles any .exe I want to run on my Universal to default to a VGA screen.

The end result is that I can have everything in QVGA mode except those I specifically modify. eg

- WM5 and phone dialer as normal but when I start a modified Internet Explorer to automatically defaults to full VGA mode?

Is this correct?

Also I noticed the reference to this site below...

I am wondering what they mean by the "HI_RES resource file", having never owned a window's based PDA before, I'm not familiar with the file.

Is this a generic system resource file that can be duplicated into any folder we need and renamed appropriately?

Where do I begin to locate such a file to copy and rename?

This seems like a neat solution if its just a matter of copying this into any program folder I want to run in VGA mode.

Regards
Michael

Looks like it, time to do a bit of playing around........

......Well, I couldn't get any of it to work. No great surprise there.

This app modify you ppc apps to work in HIRES(VGA) mode, when all my WM5 in QVGA mode only the apps that i modified will work in VGA mode.

What i know (i tried) on this app, When i modify DestinatorPN and it's works great but on Resco Explorer (5.1) it's not working.

And about the Internet Explorer i didnt found way to copy/move/replace the file "iexplorer.exe" so i didnt check it.

Resco Explorer and PIE are allready high-res aware. They do a method called double-pixelling. This means that you don't get more screen estate but doubles each pixel both horizontally and vertically...

Btw, first post. Hi all! Been lurking around on this forum for ages... Well since the Magician came out.
