IIRC, x900 is not enough. Try a x1024 screen resolution.

What sort of bugs are you getting with ResizeEnable?  I'm using it with Windows 7 without any issues.

check out Screen Resolution (A possible for Vista) (http://aurora.pentarch.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2627)

RE is very sensitive to window size.  A syou have sen it moves buttons etc to fit the window sizeyou have specified.  I spent an hour or so just fiddling with window sizes until I found ones that suited my laptop.  Now I don't even have to think about it.

I don't have to use a window resizer as I'm lucky enough to use XP. But, do these program leave behind a config file or anything, if so, would it not be possible to load up a group of file connected to specific resolutions?

ResizeEnable doesn't have that facility (At least I've never seen it).
