Fixres Description

Media Boxes running DMI to a TV sometimes have trouble setting the proper resolution after boot up. Fixres will launch after you boot, wait a few seconds then will change the screen resolution, this way solving the problem. From the producer's page I have two media boxes. Box #1 runs SnapStream (Beyond TV) Box #2 runs DVICO Fusion USB (HDTV Tuner) I have one TV a Vizio 32 inch LCD Now to get these two machines to display on the same TV one has to use the standard VGA inputs (Box #1, Beyond TV) and the other uses the HDMI inputs (Box #2, DVICO). Both box #1 and #2 have ATI graphics cards. Box #1 works flawlessly using the standard VGA inputs. Box #2 looses its resolution everytime the machine is rebooted thus defaulting to 640x480 (and that's not good). The way Box #2 is connected to the TV (this is kinda hinky): DVI out (from the graphics card) -> DVI to HDMI adapter -> HDMI Cable -> TV So the reason may be, the graphics card gets confused and can't detect the TV properly (or another possibility is ATI has a bug in the driver... shhh). This program runs after your machine boots and logs in to windows and resets the proper resolution. To configure just run: FixRes.exe To run in the automated mode: FixRes.exe /res Requirements: · Requires .NET v2 · Uses standard Windows API to change the screen resolution so it will work with any graphics adapter. · Best used in Windows 2000/XP/2003 enviroments
