Windows Borders?

Post by tcarusil »

A couple of days ago TOAW IV was working fine. Today when I try to load the program I get the following error message:

"The area inside your window borders should be at least 320 pixels wide and 434 pixels tall. You can adjust the height of Windows borders with the Windows Display Properties dialog."

I am running Windows 10 and it shows my resolution is set to 1920x1080. This is what it has always been set at. Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue and how to correct it.

Thank you for any assistance.

You might not want to but you COULD uninstall and re-install WIN10. LOL.

EDIT: I'm running WIN7 and I don't have that problemo. Sorry.

Is your window maximized? If not, what are its dimensions in pixels?

Try maximizing it or increasing its dimensions.

Thank you Larry and Bob for your responses. So today everything seems to be working fine. Did not change a thing. Just ghosts in the machine I guess. Thanks again.

Yeah, it might be working for the time being but prior to that you
had some kind of problem and I'm not at all sure that the same
problem might not show up again. In that case you'll have to
reboot Win10 I guess.

I have W7 and the same message pops up here on occasion. It creates no problem so I ignore it. I use 1280 x 1024 on a square 19' monitor.

And in the background the C:\ drive is getting reformatted.
