RE: [dba-Tech] Calculator

Try running at 1024*768 as standard - I can't believe the size is that
different, I bet that fixes it. If not, habve you installed SP2 yet? That
might be next on your list...

Jon,

>> If you hold shift and right click on an icon, it brings up a different
context menu, with an entry labelled "Run as". <<

I didn't know that one, though I've seen that dialog pop up at various
times. Thanks for the tip.

This chopped off window thing has actually affected other stuff. I haven't
noticed it yet in Windows XP, but there were a number of times in Win 2000
when I'd be installing a Microsoft program and the dialog boxes would be
truncated: I'd only see about 1/2 of the dialog, the upper-left quadrant. So
I couldn't see any command buttons nor radio buttons. I run my monitor at
1152 x 864, so sometimes I'd be able to proceed normally if I lowered the
resolution and re-logged in as Administrator.

But this calculator thing has followed me over to XP. I do a fair amount of
decimal-to-hex conversion when I'm coding web pages by hand and it's become
a bit tedious to type in the decimal number blindly and then copy and paste
the hex result into my editor.

Is this something, maybe, to do with the video driver?

Steve
