Not sure why, but when you open the program everything is shrunk. The only way I've been able to fix it is deleting the program and reloading it. What a waste of time.

Reinstalling is not likely to fix this in any form or shape. Using the -D DPI command line option might. And in case the screen is a TV set, it might be the only viable option.

Thanks for responding. I am using a TV as a second screen for my laptop. Can you give me detailed directions on how to use the DPI command line option? Much appreciated.

Thanks.

Mike

If youre not familiar with the general idea of command line options, it's probably best to do a web search for that, the details can differ a lot from one OS/version to another. But there is some good info in the Handbook in the section "Revert to factory settings". Just replace the place where it suggests "-F" with "-D xxx", where "xxx" is the actual resolution of your TV set in DPI (probably says that info on the box it came in, or in the manual, but when in doubt, use trial and error - value is likely between 72 and 300, and anything in the ballpark should be OK).
