Hi win7x

You may need to change display settings for each user Control panel > All Control Panel Items > Display.

Just right click the file, properties, click compatibility and then advanced i think it was and then check run as administrator. This is IF your account is an administrative account.

I would run you through it but I am at work and on a iMac!!! =)

I'm not sure I understand you fully. The program was likely written requiring it to run with administrative privileges so this must be enabled for it to work properly under a modern OS. Right-click the exe and make sure the program is configured to always run with admin privileges regardless of the user running it. If you were having other problems with it you can try running it in Windows 98 compatibility mode to see if that helps anything.

thanks for all reply , it seems that i didnt make myself clear

the program run ok and function well
the problem is with the resolution
when i run it in ADMINISTRATOR USER (log as administrator) it runs ok the resolution dosent change
when i run it with diffrent user (log as "user1"), in the program properties compabilty mode set run always as administrator , the 640X480 not checked , compabliyity to run win 98

the regular user (user1) the resolution changed to 640X480 by it self
