From a development perspective, both solutions are less than desirable:
1. Rev does not like to have the screen resolution changed while running; this is an engine flaw (one might say limitation, but since Apple's HI guidelines, and M$'s as well I think, make specific statements that programs should be prepared to deal cleanly with changes in the screen resolution while running, it is *quite* a limitation), so it applies to all standalones as well. While it may be possible to use a script to change the screen resolution, this may not be desirable, and the standalone may not work correctly. Any comments here? Has anyone actually tested Rev's (or a standalone's) behavior when the resolution changes midstream? See the docs for the screenRect function for more details.
2. Depending on how your card was designed, reducing the size of the stack may require you to redo the layouts of some, many, or all objects on each and every card (but ultimately it would work)... Suggested new stack sizes: 720x460, 790x504
The easiest option is to change the screen resolution of those computers *before* starting your program.
The "best" option (depending on your situation) would likely be #2, though it could take some time.
Another (unfortunate) reality: some monitors, or some video cards, may limit your screen resolution to the point where it may not be possible to get the higher resolution. Also, some security software may prevent the resolution from being changed.

Hi Klaus,
sorry to mislead you, have tried the software on a screen set to 800 x 600
and it is too big - it doesn't all fit onto the screen. Unfortunately, the
original size of the stack is 940 x 600.
thanks,
Pat
Ehmm, did i understand you right?
1024 / 3 * 2 = about 683 768 / 3 * 2 = 512
This will fit onto a monitor set to 800*600 and parts of the backdrop could still
