Monitor truncation

[Michael]

Try resizing the windows of the program by grabing the
corner and make it smaller, then grabing the top bar of
that window and moving it to the middle of the screen.

YES! I can grab the top bar and move the whole
window around, and that way I am able to run the
entire application window. Thank you, Michael.
But why, in Windows XP, is it now spreading
wider than the whole screen, when it didn't up
to recently?

It's not XP. A simple slip of the mouse is all it takes.

To run it full screen, simply double click the title bar. That would have
worked just as well. However you need to resize the window so you don't
have to slide it around. This was what I was referring to earlier. Slowly
move the mouse to an exposed edge of the window. When the cursor changes to
double headed, click, hold and move the mouse.

Interesting. Most apps aren't coded to act this way in a long time. And the
bulk of ones I've seen that are tend to work in a 800x600 display. Check the
documentation that came with the application, or check their with tech
support to find out if it's possible to resize the window.

Thank you, Walter, for being so specific. However, it doesn't
work on my XP-Home Edition. By title bar, I presume you
mean where it says "New Filter" in the blue bar across the top.
I point there, and click, or double click, and nothing happens.
There is no action. I move the mouse to any edge of the window,
slowly, and it never 'grabs' and becomes double-headed. All
I can do is point at the title bar, and when I click and hold, I
can slide the whole window in any direction. I hope my screen shot
registers. You'll note how the text is cut off at the right. The
edge is not grabbable.

Are you using Clear Type? If yes, try turning it off. Cleartype increases
the density of fonts by 300% vertically. Consequently, it can make many
things display "wider."
