Exclamation Visual Basic 6 Help Needed

Hey all,
I'm at school and on a PC stuck in 800x600 and i can't change it without admin privileges. I need some script to change the resolution back to 1024x768 because our IT Dept. won't do **** about it for atleast another week. Sorry i can't get the script myself, our school is working with a whitelist now so i can't get onto any resources i need.

Any help would be heaps appreciated (within the next couple of days would be kickass, repping up for any useful answers)


Edit: I also have access to python but I've never touched it, if anyone knows how to do it in python I'll need very detailed instructions on how to use it.

Edit (2): Found the script i needed, i'll be posting the Visual Basic 6 script for changing resolution in another thread in the near future.

Try seeing if there's an alternate way to change the res. Some video cards have their own driver tools to let you change resolutions. I know S3 cards had this.
