XP question...

bwd · 07-24-2002, 10:40 AM

this is a minor question but i thought someone might help-

i run XP pro and when i play 00tp4 in win mode (not full screen) it runs fine but i cant quite see the very top of the drop down lists. that is, i can see half of the words "teams" and "file" etc. resizing doesnt help.

obviously not a huge deal, just wondering if anyone else ran in to this or might know how to fix it?

thanks

I have windows XP, and when I changed my look to 'classic windows' my view was no longer obstrcuted.

I'm at work right now and I don't remember where I went to change this but I think it was on the settings menu...

Changing Xp to run in "Classic Windows" view will fix this.

To change to Classic, right click anywhere on the desktop and select "Properties." Hit the "Appearance" tab and change the drop-down menu "Windows and buttons" to classic mode.

i never changed to Classic View and i'm fine.

must be the monitor or your resolution.

Here is an easy fix without having to change to classic view. Go into display properties and select appearance. Then select advanced and change the active title bar from 25 to 20. That's what I did and it works great

Hope this helps.
