Dear Mittal,
If you want to change the screen colour depth as well as the size, such
utilities are far from trivial. However, just changing the size is a bit
easier.
Do you have VB6 installed? If so, I have a relatively simple utility I
could let you have which you could adapt to your own purposes.
Regarding the installation, if it is to be run on Windows XP, then the
necessary libraries should already be present in the OS and it wouldn't
need a setup. Otherwise, one way of eliminating the need for a setup in
Windows ME, 98, etc. is to use a special utility I have to "wrap" the
libraries together with the EXE. I could do this "wrapping" for you. The
only potential difficulty involved with wrapping though, is that one or
two anti-virus programs detect the unwrapping procedure falsly as virus
activity (e.g. the AVG anti-virus).
Let me know.

Bob Warren
