    Why is a program GUI too big to fit the screen?


    This is not the first time I have seen this problem, but before it was an annoyance in a different program Ace Utilities, but now it is more serious. I am using a brand new ASUS VIVO notebook and have installed a Cloud backup program called Crashplan. When I open the interface the window is way too large for the size of my laptop's 15.6" screen and I cannot see everything in the window. I tried a couple of 3rd party resizers, but they did not work. I have tried 2 browsers setting them as default, one at a time, i.e., Edge and Firefox latest versions but that did not fix the problem. The vendor of Crashplan, www.code42.com says it is a windows 10 issue - I am using Windows 10 Home up to date . Because Crashplan is a cloud backup program, being unable to see the complete screen of the interface means that I would not be able to restore my data from the cloud if I need it. I have tried repairing Edge, resetting Edge but neither helped. I then switched to Firefox 72 as default but that did not work. The vebndor wants me to reinstall Edge, but but not being technically proficient, I had some trouble following the instructions and decided against it except as a last resort.


    If anyone can help with recommendations on how to reduce the size of the Crashplan interface to normal, it will be much appreciated.

    :)

    "Program is too big to fit in memory"

    When I open my .exe file from apache, it says "Program is too big to fit in memory". Since it was a .tar.gz, I had to convert it and I did it with WinZip. After I converted it, I tried to open it but the command prompt opened and said "Program is too big
    to fit in memory". The command prompt closed a second later.



    Any help?

    Thanks,

    Lock Screen Image Too Big

    Lock screen picture is too big. Why is there no "fit to screen" option the way there is on choosing a background photo. The above suggestion is useless when there is no way to fit the picture one wants to use. It needs a "fit to screen" option! If you
    can't provide that option, please explain why.
