  2. Oversized display

    Hi,

    I apologize for not responding you in a timely manner.

    Please try the following steps and check if that helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to rollback the display driver and check if that helps.

    • Type Device Manager in the search box on taskbar, and press
      Enter.
    • Double-click display driver.
    • Double-click the problematic device to bring up the
      Properties window.
    • Click the Driver tab.
    • Click the Roll Back Driver button.
    • A dialog box will ask you to confirm your decision to roll back to a previous driver.
    • Click on Yes to begin the roll-back process.

    Method 2: If the issues persists, please uninstall and reinstall the display driver and check whether that fixes the issues.

    Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

  3. Dialog box fails to resize

    A few weeks ago I somehow managed to resize my 'open file' dialog box in Paint Shop Pro X5 so that it is the size of the screen.

    I have been trying ever since to reset the size.

    I have tried

    Double clicking the top bar of the dialog box

    Right clicking over the icon in the top left corner to resize

    Click & drag the edges to make it smaller

    Resizing using the keyboard

    I've even tried to use one of the resizer programs & uninstalling, then reinstalling the program....all of this to no avail.

    I was told at the Corel support forum that it was a Windows issue but the only program that has this problem is PSP. Doesn't happen in my Photoshop, the text programs that came with Windows...none of them.

    I'm at such a loss...I have no clue how to fix this issue.

    Windows 11 dialog box oversized cant resize, display scale will not solve

    windows 11 enlarge dialog box text

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    It is not possible to enlarge the text on some dialogs,, there is only one setting in Windows for enlarging test and that affects all modern apps, but it and the scale setting in Windows does not affect the old Win32 dialog boxes, because they are not programmed for DPI scaling yet, they are working to replace all the old dialogs in Windows 11.
