[dba-Tech] Calculator

That is a strange phenomenon...especially through an OS upgrade.  Off-hand
the only thing that comes to mind is the screen resolution.  Wild A$$ guess,
but do you have it set to some off-the-wall aspect ratio that calc.exe can't
interpolate?

Dear Group,

I'm almost too embarrassed to ask about this. I recently upgraded my Windows
2000 w/s to Windows XP Pro. All went pretty well except for a couple of
programs that wouldn't work unless I logged in with Administrator rights.

One thing that I hoped would be "fixed" when I upgraded was the Windows
calculator. In Windows 2000 I'd start up the calculator to translate from
decimal to hex and back. The standard calculator looked and acted just fine;
but when I would switch to scientific the calculator window would get a bit
taller to accommodate the extra rows of keys, but it wouldn't get any wider.
And no scroll bar to see what's on the right side of the calculator. It
would still work. I could type in a decimal number, hit the Hex button, and
Ctrl-C the result into my HTML editor, say. But for the life of me I
couldn't figure out why the darn thing wouldn't let me see the whole
scientific calculator.

Now that I've upgraded to XP the calculator still acts in the goofy fashion.
Does anyone have a clue as to what I can do to cure this?
