Won't Fit On My Screen

[skylab]

Using Media Creator 10 with screen dimensions 1024 x 768 on a wide-screen monitor, it fits on my wide screen when I first run the program. But after doing anything like copying a disc, it changes and is way too big for my screen. I must continually scroll it horizontally just to get to where I can click on the round start button or even to the top right window gadgets. How can I make it stay in the proper size window for my screen?

Make sure that your DPI settings are set to 96 dpi.

 

Right click on a blank space on your desktop, click Properties, click Settings, then click Advanced. You will see the DPI setting box, and that setting should be 96.

I had this problem with C 2009. Never did figure out what caused it and a clean uninstall and reinstall fixed it some how.

 

A work around I found was, right click the program box in the systray, then minimize or maximize it. Mine would then size correctly to the monitor.

 

Would you post the make and model of your video card and the driver version, please? Click start run, type in dxdiag, click ok. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool Window opens, click the display tab at top, this shows the information.

cd & grandpa bruce, thanks for the help. On this Vista PC, I see no setting for DPI, so I don't know what it is nor if I can change it. I will try to reinstall the program.

My video card is NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

The driver is nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2UM.dll

Version 7.15.0011.7521

You have a video chip on the motherboard; you do not have a video card. Update the drivers for it (if any) from the computer manufacturer's web site.

Ahh, a video chip on the board instead of a card, thanks I didn't realize that. It's a HP and often updates itself automatically so I assume it has the latest update. Roxio is the only program I use that has this screen-overrunning problem, so I thought it might be something with Roxio..
