Fixres

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.

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
