Photo Story 3 Screen Too Small
I created some stories using Photo Story 3 without any problems.
Later, when I wanted to edit the stories, the Photo Story 3 screen size was so small I couldn't make out the thumbnails, and even the large, single picture was too small to read any text that had been placed on it. Something has changed from the time I first used Photo Story. I did play around with the folder view options in Windows XP Pro SP3, but don't know how that would have made the screen size smaller. I did not change the pixel size of my 19" Dell monitor. It is still 1280 X 1024 like it has always been. On my 19" monitor, the Photo Story screen is 8-1/4" by 6", so it is only using 28% of the monitor screen. The thumbnails are 9/16" X 3/8". Just way too small to be useful. How can I increase the screen size of the program? I know from other readings that full screen is not possible with Photo Story 3. Dick

*Another thought* Photo Story 3 Screen Too Small
Another thought...
Maybe you could figure a way to use the Screen Magnifier.

My screen resolution has remained unchanged, even though the Photo Story screen size did get smaller. Here's another clue - A friend of mine, who got me started using Photo Story, suggested that I uninstall the program and reinstall it. However, when I go to the Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel, there is no button to remove the program. Just tells me that it is used frequently. Something appears to be corrupted re the installation. How can I uninstall it and start over? Dick

Dick ================================ If PhotoStory works and the only problem is the screen size I would suspect that you may have system issues with your computer. Have you noticed anything odd with any of your other programs? If PS3 is not listed in Add-Remove programs... try reinstalling it. If that fails...you may want to do a System Restore to a time before you first installed it. Good luck finding the solution. -- John Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
