Hi-- I set screen resolution down to 800x600 and then back to 1024. Now, the popup window size is only one small size. So for example, when printing out a Word doc (File -- Print) the first window is fine (small), but hitting the "Advanced" tab inthat window presents another small popup that has most of the setting info cropped out. Happens regardless of appl. and is not tied to just printing. It could be any popup that needs a large window. Thanks for your thoughts!

Yes, I tried that. After digging and digging I found that the font size (more or less than 100%) was set too high. Set at 120%, the text expands beyond the borders of the pop up window it was in.

This is a known bug in Windows--changing screen resolution causes windows to reside somewhere off of the desktop area when sized (not maximized) and need to be moved. See MS articles:
Q264298, Q144962, and Q138730. These are all pertaining to Word, but still can be applied to other programs with the same problem of being located off screen (move, not the registry edit, but the registry edit does work with word).
