    I found these recently....

    MultiRes 1.50 :saywhat:
    <url>http://www.entechtaiwan.net/util/multires.shtm</url>
    <blockquote id='quote'> quote:<hr height='1' noshade id='quote'>MultiRes works very much like a 32-bit version of the venerable Microsoft QuickRes 16-bit applet for Windows 95, with administrative scripting facilities and extended capabilities to handle refresh rates and multiple monitors. Supported resolution and refresh rates are accessible from the command-line or from a simple menu that pops up from the system tray. An optional timed confirmation prompt – enabled by default in the program About box – ensures that any changes you make can be reversed safely, without fuss. <hr height='1' noshade id='quote'></font id='quote'></blockquote id='quote'>

    EyeRelief for LCDs :eek:
    <url>http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/eyerelief.exe</url>
    <blockquote id='quote'>quote:<hr height='1' noshade id='quote'>EyeRelief 1.00 is a small, simple and free Windows utility that provides improved legibility to high density LCDs, allowing larger font, icon, tool and taskbar sizes at native resolutions. Users with, e.g., SXGA+, UXGA and higher resolutions LCDs may find EyeRelief's desktop scaling a viable alternative to running at lower non-native resolutions.<hr height='1' noshade id='quote'></font id='quote'></blockquote id='quote'>
