DELETE THIS POST it is Obsolete [#RGC-928380]: Problems with WB, CFX, DS, IP

Would you be running a higher than normal DPI?

I suspect CursorFX isn't aware that the click position has changed relative to the cursor in those non high dpi aware apps (assuming it works correctly for closing windows like Explorer windows)

DPI ? Text in win7 is at 113% normal is 100%  BUT I can see the TINY TINY 100% Text if that is DPI but CFX Did Not Like my Win7 Ultimate before I set the DPI to 113%  as I stated in my E-mail(s) one here the others 4 to 6 made it to SD .. that Win 7 and XP Pro is well was a Clean install and the only thing I did after clean install was to install Impulse > WD > CFX + > DS

cause those are the programs that MY win 7 is not liking

All Explorer window work fine and IE and FF work Fine to...

my resolution is at have to go to 7 but i think it is at 1680x1050

go to control panel and view large icons to show adminstrative tools select this and go to computer management. Then select disk Management. Take a screenshot of that screen and post it here. I'm looking to see your drives and if it is setup properly.

Also is this an upgrade install or a clean install?

Given that all the apps that have issues are being scaled (notice they are slightly blurred), I suspect the issue is indeed being caused by your dpi settings.  It would explain why the other menus and windows all work fine as they are dpi aware and are not being resized by the dwm.

The only other thing that comes to mind is if your taskbar is on the left hand side of the screen as that can cause some strange coordinate shifts sometimes.

resolution on 7 is 1600 x 1024  the is a Clean install  DPI is at 118%

My taskbar is at the top will reset DPI to normal 100%  will be back have to log off to take affect

Neil, I changed my DPI to default 100% and now WD, DS work right  so this means StarDock needs to make them dpi aware .. and so does the others

thanks but want to I do about the TINY TINY text ..  and in IE I have to zoom in to 125% just to read.  will have to mess with my res some more.

Thanks Neil you NEED TO BE AT STARDOCK SUPPORT .com  I have done 4 to 6 E-mail back and forth so I am glad my last E-Mail did not make it THANKS A trillion

to Shelbygt_the_Car~!  ??

3 possibilites come to mind right off....

1. use a lower resolution on your monitor

2. buy a bigger monitor

3. use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out in IE (hold down CTRL key)

 Just a little tip:Using CAPS too much in your e-mails can SET OFF SPAM FILTERS!

1 Can do have had it at 1440 X 900 any smaller then Suff not text get TOO big

2 I have a 22.5" monitor now  but I Might use my 27 or 26 " HDTV as my monitor come X-mas day but it don't have a digital hook up

3 I just use the Magnifier built in my Mouse

would be nice if I know how to use WD's Font can never get it to ware I want the fron to go  EVERY where

oh ya thats probably what did it then

Glad I could help.

The issue would seem to be with CFX rather than the apps in question.  While it would be ideal for them to be dpi aware, they are not required to be so and it is an opt in thing which older apps are not aware of.

The DPI scaling that Vista / 7 does for non dpi aware apps is complex and can cause some problems due to how it has to work and I suspect thats why CFX is having some problems with those apps.

I know you do not want to hear this but here it goes... I would figure you are not using bitlocker drive encryption which is used by this partition. But this partition is also used for a lot of other things people do not want to think of such as compatitbility and restore information along with a protected boot area. We had a long explaination of the 100mb system partition at the launch event I went to. Thus you should have installed with options from the drive to be used for windows 7 and a 100 mb system partition would of been created for a proper install of Win 7 Ultimate. As seen here...

No I am not using Bitblocker

I installed XP Pro first then split the baby 500GB drive in half then put Win 7 Ultimate on. from what I understand that bitblock if you do sometimg wrong your S.O.L. I know I should have made a partion for them but i just wanted all I could get. Well do this the next time I have to reinstall . but I don't thing it asked me if I wanted to...

I to went to the, "The NEW efficiency" launch Thanks Microsoft for my Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) hopefully they will have one for Office 10 too like they did with office 2007 and Vista.

but I do Keep all my stuff On my Slave Master and if I could get Stardock stuff to look thier I would then I would only have to one place insted of 3 XP 7 and back up (aka Slave Master) like WD, CFX, IP, DS, RC,

thanks for the info but not sure I know what you was totally talking about

 thanks to all (Neil Banfield) this problem has been FIXED

Case Closed
