Copy image file based on screen resolution.

[Arthur]

Do you have any thoughts on that please?

Not yet, but I'll have a look later.

Cheers. I will have some time to have a good look at it tomorrow. Its weird i must say.

The screen resolution is 1366x768 but if you use the script and a startup script it is using the 1600x1200 wallpaper. If I run it when I am logged into Windows it works fine.

Could you run the following as a startup script and then post the contents of the text file?

 

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$Width  = [system.Windows.Forms.Screen]::PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
$Height = [system.Windows.Forms.Screen]::PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
$Ratio  = $Width/$Height

$Width, $Height, $Ratio -join ',' | Out-File -FilePath C:\Temp\StartupRes.txt -Force

here we go

 

1024,768,1.33333333333333

That's really strange! Does the affected PC have only one display attached? Is it a VGA monitor?

[FN-GM]

Tried it on 2 machines. One with a VGA monitor and the other is a laptop.

Trying to think of some work arounds. What do you think of a scheduled task that runs a few minutes after booting?

[Arthur]

On the PC that didn't work, is its monitor detected as a generic PnP monitor?

That sound like a much better idea.

Been out off office for various reasons, will check in the morning.

[FN-GM]

@Arthur they are coming up generic PnP monitors.

 

Thanks

@Arthur if you are not logged in the same thing happens. Just wondering if you had anymore thoughts please?

I'll have a think.

You are using this for W7 Logon Backgrounds. W7 supports multiple sizes:

 

 

Your backgroundDefault.jpg file must be for the highest resolution you have, if the system resolution is smaller, it will automatically look for backgroundRESOLUTION.jpg in the same Folder (System32\oobe\info\backgrounds)

 

Saves you fiddling around with scripts, you can just make a few images, name them appropriately and use them on every machine.
