    I currently use a 2 monitor system on Win2K. One runs off the AGP graphics card and the second off a PCI video card that also support live TV display. The problem is when I boot Win2K, the primary display (AGP card) has some black bands over the display. This is most likely due to some sort of driver/address issue and has failed to be resolved with driver updates, etc. The good news is that this can be corrected by going to the display tab in Control Panel and changing the current resolution for the ACP card. By changing from say High Color 16 bit to High Color 32 bit corrects the display. It then stays perfect on both until the next boot, when the cycle repeats. My question is whether there is some simple EXE based tool that can be used to auto change this resolution. If so, it could be set to auto run at start and then hopefully correct the display issue without manual action. Ed
