Use this, it works perfect for me:

Lparameters lnWidth, lnHeight
If Pcount() # 2
	If Vartype(_Screen.LastWidth)="U"
		Return
	Else
		lnWidth=_Screen.LastWidth
		lnHeight=_Screen.lastHeight
	Endif
Endif

*!*	To use it, just place it somewhere in your app like this:
*!*	ChangeRes(1024,768)
*!*	That means I am forcing the screen to have a resolution of 1024x768. When I exit my main form, in the unload event I place this:
*!*	ChangeRes(_Screen.LastWidth,_Screen.lastHeight)
*!*	And that would restore the previous screen resolution.
