Problem: Some window opening oversized

[gargoyle]

Just recently I have noticed some of my program are opening with windows that are

supersized.

So far the programs are

Nero

File download manager

Mouse properties

DVD Shrink

I have tryed resizing the window but on reopening that are again supersized.

I have tryed the following.

Using scroll wheel on mouse to resize. it has no effect

Resizing window with double arrow. It changes it but revers back to supersize

on reloading.

Changing size and using CLOSE instead of X. It changes it but revers back to supersize

on reloading.

All programs are set to Run in normal window.

Anyone have any other ideas as to what else I should check out??

Can you give a screenshot?

Can you give a screenshot?

As you can see the window is bigger then the allowed window space.

Yes, I can resize it, using the double arrows as stated but it will not retain the information for the next I open up the window. I have also tryed other ways of resizing it but nothing will keep.

It seem like the screen is set to a different resolution. My normal resolution is 800x600 16bit.

I have tryed change resolution the going back to it but it remains the same.

You have a missing font, it's using the default Windows System font (the large bold text) and can't calculate the size of the window correctly. I'm not sure which font is missing but what usually is used there is MS Sans Serif.

Also consider running your monitor in 1024x768 unless it's a 13" LCD that can't handle a higher resolution..

Problem solved that was it I had gotten rid of some fonts and apparently I also had deleted them.

I reinstalled them and the problem when away.

Thank you very much for that simple solution.

How in the world did you known that that was the problem? I would never have quessed that.

I recognised the Font Missing font... and I know that it's much larger than the normal font so it'd make sense that it made the window oversized
