I get a DISP_CHANGE_BADMODE error. If I uncheck the "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" for the monitor settings the call works and the resolution is displayed correctly. is there any way to force the "unsupported" display mode, or programatically uncheck the "Hide modes...." checkbox. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards Ben Back to top Ben Kinslow Guest Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 6:19 pm    Post subject: Re: ChangeDisplaySettingsEx Upsupported resolution Hilarious!
