Question : Is it possible to allow standard users to change DPI settings via scripting in Windows XP?

We have an issue where we have some older users who require large font sizes on the screen.  In the past I am sure we, as support officers with administrative rights, were able to log in remotely via RDP and change display properties, however the display options have not been available to us when we remote in now for some time.  Ordinarily probably not a major issue, but as we have users who are in regional areas it is not possible for us to get to them to make these changes by interfacing directly with their PC.

Is it possible to create a script that would allow standard users to change their DPI settings in Windows XP without providing their individual accounts administrator access?  Or alternatively a script that would allow us as administrators to change DPI settings remotely on their behalf?

The problem is quite possibly a damaged or dirty CD.  (Yep, I know you said it is a microsoft orignal copy.  Is this a copy or an original CD?  If this is a copy then quite likely the copy isn't good).

Or possibly a failing CD drive.  But I prefer the damaged or dirty CD.
