| | change screen size to see dialog boxes? I have a wide screen monitor. It's native resolution is 1280-720 I have the computer software (Windows Vista Home edition) set to this size... The picture is wonderful...BUT.......numerous programs...specifically --Windows Movie Maker this evening....--have their "command choices" on the very bottom of the dialog boxes. When I am set to 1280-720...the choice is too low to be seen. You cannot pull the box UP enough, since it hits the top end of the screen and stops. My work-around has been to change the screen resolution to 1280-900 ?? or some -such. It look awful, but at least I can see, and select, the choices. Any ideas?? I cannot find a way, in Moviemaker, to change the size of the "choice boxes"??? Surely there is a way to be able to see the bottom line of the boxes without changing to a poor resolution on one's screen.. thanks very much, Rich |
