Screen Resolution

Anybody got any idea how to make an older program (running 3 screens) with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 running off of my normal setting of 1280 x 1024 (running 3 screens) without manually re-sizing each screen every time I have to go into the program?

That's a surprise to read that...don't modern screens memorize several regular settings? (I'm assuming your using a tube, to be able to change resolutions at all.)

If it's a Windows program (running in a window), Windows normally remembers the size and position. However, I've seen Windows programs that override that and resize themselves, deliberately, and there's not much you can do except work with the facilities that the programmer provided. Same for "full screen" programs that talk directly to the video hardware. It's not a "generic" issue with a generic solution.
