Some of my programs don't play nice with my new wide screen 19" LCD (The Blues Guitarist, Essential Blues Guitar, to name a few.) The audio or video position segment of the window covers part of the keyboard and part of the controls. Anyone else notice this? It there a workaround? I have the latest updates.

Thanks,

Jim

Have you tried setting Display in Control Panel to other aspect ratios?

For example, 1024 X 768 or the like.

You may have to try several to see if there is any change that is acceptable.

Mac,

Yes. Tried that with no luck. With the wide screen monitors, it seems that the window tries to take up the full witdth of the screen no matter which resolution is selected thereby causing problems with the alignment of certain elements.

Thanks,

Jim

I've noticed the same problem with my new Vista Laptop. As a workaround, before using either of those programs I right click on the desktop, select Properties, select the Themes tab, select Windows Classic in the dropdown listbox and click the OK button.

Hope that helps,

My lappy is a 17" wide screen set at 1440x900. You can check it out on the BIAB forum under " what are you using for live setup" or something to that effect.

This is a Vista issue (happens on my widescreen desktop, too). PGMusic said they were going to fix it a while back, but I haven't heard anything since.

Here's the thread where I reported it a year ago.
