I am playing through the tutorial, I am on section 2. I go to system view and/or hit the F9 key, and the window comes up. The window is slightly taller than my monitor resolution, and the information the window tries to display falls way off to every side. There appears to be no way to actually change this at present. Clearly I am missing something obvious, since everyone else has made it past this portion. Pardon my slowness.

There was a post about a screen scroller. I want to say it is in the bugs forum

This might be a bug?

I played around with my resolution settings for the PC itself, since there doesn't seem to be one for the game alone. And nothing worked. I discovered that there is much, much more to the display missing than I realized, but at no point could reveal it all.
This might be a bug?
What resolution are you running on your PC?

While trying to fix it I began with Erik Luken's statement that 1280x1064 was the minimum. I kept making it larger and larger until reaching the final value of 1680x1050. I might keep my computer here because it looks gorgeous. But unfortunately it does not make the system display show up entirely..

Other than that, wow. I run at 1650x1050 and have no issues. My task bar is double-wide and I can fit the System window on the screen with no issues.

Reset Window Positions does nothing.
I use smaller fonts when I can to fit more data onscreen.

I am now living with 1650x1050 and enjoying it immensely. But this still has not solved the problem.

Hmmm...I use 1400x1050 and I don't have any problems. Are you still having the same problem you mentioned in the first post of this thread - where the windows are partially off-screen or truncated?
That should not happen at your resolution unless you have some sort of special setting somewhere.

The grid and that scroll bar were never missing. At first it was about a third of the whole display on one side gone. Now just part of the bottom is gone.
Could you post a screenshot of the problem?

There it is, in all of it's glory. I try moving it and that is really the whole image. There is nothing below that. The whole planet image is not displayed, I cannot shrink the size of that window or expand it, and even if I could expand it to see everything, seeing everything would still require moving the top bar far up and off screen.
Nothing that can be done with it works.

1650x1050, my current favorite.
That's strange. As I noted before, I use 1400x1050, and I don't have that problem.
From looking at the picture, though, the problem you are having is definitely related to having too low of a resolution. I wonder if the problem continues because you started under the lower resolution, and continues now even under the higher resolution.
If that is the case, an uninstall/reinstall is likely the only answer.

Ok, just did a complete re-install. And the problem is still there.I really don't know what to suggest. The picture appears to be a lower resolution than 1400x1050 so it might be possible what you are seeing is not the resolution that your computer is saying it is using. One option might be to create a picture in Paint, set the attributes to say 800 x 800 pixels and see how large that is in relation to the viewable area.

Have you tried the usual suspects? Clear temp files, defrag, etc? It's a long shot, but it's the only think I can think of.

Ok, tried that... still nothing. The reset window position button does nothing.Make sure all the windows are closed before you use the reset window position button.
