Screen problem

OK, for some reason I am seeing this funky screen. Since I have never had this problem before on my computer I badly need help ideas about this. Thanks, Damon

On the main window bar, try hitting Reset Windows Positions on the Miscellaneous menu.

Hey Erik, thanks. I tried that, no joy. ALL my screens look like that. I can only see about 2/3rds of all screens. Hmm. I have no clue on what to do, argh. Damon

What is your screen resolution? I think the minimum is 1280x1024.

Now we just need to wait for Steve to get blind and go to a lower resolution ;)

I hear that. Umm, I am working on a tech list right now. Where do you want me to stick it? It will be a large JPEG. Thanks, Damon

You can email it to me, and I'll host it here. No need to chew up your bandwidth on it.

Certain Screens not showing up.
« Reply #8 on: November 01, 2007, 01:25:22 PM »
Hi,

I had the 3/4 screen issue but was able to solve by changing resolution.  However, I discovered a new problem.  For some reason the Task Group, Officer Corp, and Class Design screens are not shoing up.  I get the little tab for them down at the bottom of the Windows screen but they do not appear on the desktop.  I've tried repeated clicking on the tab and it looks like the window may be appearing off to the right of the desktop.  However, I can't seem to get at it.  Any ideas what may be causing this or possible remedies?

Did you reset the window locations?

That one is tough. I don't think Steve made it "sizable", so the bottom rows of buttons are hidden. :(

Not sure why this is happening. Reset Windows modifies the WindowPosition table, setting all the Left and Top values to zero. If you can open up the database, you could try changing these values manually.
