Font overflowing dialog boxes

[Guest Dan]

My system is running Win XP Pro, Service Pack 2. In some programs with

certain dialog boxes or windows in those programs, the text is larger than it

should be and either overflows the right edge of the window or wraps

abnormally or runs into another control. Sometimes it pushes the OK or Cancel

buttons off the bottom of the window. The font is Arial or some equivalent,

not something exotic. It doesn't happen in programs like Word or Excel, but

one of the programs that this happens to is called Search and Replace by

Funduc Software. A year or two ago everything worked fine. I have no idea

what changed to make this happen.

 

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Dan,

 

Check your settings via Display Properties/Appearance/Advanced.

You may also want to try resetting back to XP.
