hi

My website is best viewed at 1024x768.

Is there any way to allow the user to click a button and change the resolution of his monitor to this?

Thanks

It's a good thing it's impossible! People have their screens at certain resolutions because they like them like that - how pissed off would you be if every website changed your screen res [or changed it to something your monitor couldn't support?! As a generaly rule of thumb, when designing a webpage you should never try to 'control' the user - your website should work on as many different system configs as possible.
