This works great when changing my resolution to 1024 X 768 but it will not change my resolution to 1366 x 768 anyone care to take a stab at this? Im using windows 7 home premium X64

I am using the same function on WinXP..  setting displays of greater than 1024x768.  But having problem setting display on Win7.  And since I am not familiar with codes used (DllStructCreate, DllStructSetData and DllCall), I tried modifying the first $devmode preset to:

Local $DEVMODE = DllStructCreate("byte[32];int64[10];byte[32];int[6]") 

the output changed, but not the output I wanted.

Could anyone shed a light on how to manipulate the codes or why it was used?
