You can use SetRes to change the resolution. Just add it to the System32 folder of your image and call it from the cmd prompt.

If you download it from softpedia in the link I provided above there is a file called setres.txt in the zip file. It fully explains how to use it. This is directly from that file:

QUOTE

USAGE

SETRES hXXXX vXXXX [bXX] [fXX] [n]

hXXXX = Horizontal size of screen in pixels Not optional. 640 minimum
vXXXX = Vertical size of screen in pixels Not optional. 480 minimum
bXX = Bit (colour) depth such as 8, 16 24, 32 Optional
fXX = Refresh frequncy in Hertz, e.g. 60, 75, 85 Optional
n = No 'Press a key' prompt after error Optional

EXAMPLES

SETRES h1024 v768 = Set screen to 1024 x 768 resolution
SETRES h800 v600 b24 = Set screen to 800 x 600 resolution with 24-bit colour depth
SETRES h1280 v1024 b32 f75 = 1280x1024 resolution, 32-bit colour, 75Hz refresh frequency
SETRES h1024 v768 n = 1024x768 with no 'Press a key' prompt if an error occurs

You can automize this process

add in to

x:\windows\system32\setres.exe

open

x:\windows\system32\starnet.cmd

add this string

setres h1024 v768 b32

ok save and exit

Now , when you reboot winpe your resolution is 1024x768 with 32bit ( color )

bye
