The screens are not showing as they did in windows xp. Some are moved around, some don't seem to go out far enough and some, as in budget edit, won't show the input column. I've looked around but even some of the user preference screens aren't showing up correctly as the buttons to save it aren't showing. Please direct me to the right spot to fix.
Thank you.

Hello:
The settings you have to adjust are in Windows. Go to the main Windows desktop and right-click on a blank space; click on "Screen resolution"; on the drop-down beside "Resolution", choose a higher resolution; there is always one marked as "Recommended"; save the changes. Try Adagio. You should be able to see all of the entry forms. Let us know if that works. If the buttons are overlapping each other, there is an additional solution.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I was set at a fairly high resolution (1440 x 900) but changed it to the highest (1680 x 1050). The screens look the same. I even exited Ledger and re-logged in. Same issue. Basically the way it is now, I can't enter batches, or change budgets, etc. Viewing is OK but other things are scrunched together or over to the side and I can't get to them. It will not let me expand my windows using the mouse either, at least in batches or edit budgets.

I'd recommend that you also check the text size. Control Panel...Display. It should be 100%. I also have 'Use Windows XP style DPI scaling' and 100% under 'Set custom text size'.

Hello,

Thankyou for the help. The 'document' put me in the right direction and it was changing things back to 100% that fixed the problem.
