A friend wrote me of a problem getting a monitor resolution script to run
while logged in as Panel user. The script is for his son, to change
resolutions to 256 colors to make it easier to read the screen and play
games that require 8-bit color, the user does not have control panel access,
and his father reports it wouldn't do him much good anyway :-) (He's 6 years
old and has trouble reading, one of the programs requiring 256 colors is
Reader Rabbit). I didn't find any information in the AS Help modules and
I've never worked with Multiple Users before. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the note my friend sent me:
---------------
The script is
tell application "Finder"
set monitor depth 8
end tell
the problem is
The script runs fine when logged on as the owner but when logged on
as a panel user, the script produces this error message "network file
permission error". Does anyone know what this error message means,
and even better, what to do to get the colour change script to run
for a panel user?
