After defragmentation, in Spider solitaire, game is off the screen

Defragged my hard drive now, Spider Solitaire opens with just the square selector - the game is off the screen.  The only way I can access is to choose a level of play, and then reduce the taskbar, right-click on it and select 'mazimize '.  The Green game board appears and the game is played.  However, I can't reduce the size of the game at all.  Tried to reload, but could not find it on the CD-ROM of Microsoft XP all ideas anyone?

  • Are preferably looking to keep the focus of the timeline in place after the playhead to play off the screen

    Hi all
    I think I used to have this setting put in place in a previous version of PP, but I can't remember where it was. I would like to be able to keep the focus of the timeline in place and leave the playhead to play off the screen. At the moment if I'm working on a section of the timeline, as he plays and the playhead leaves the window it will pop the update so that the playback head is located near the left side of the window and away from the section, I was working on.

    Is there a setting to turn this off? I really prefer monitor me my position of the window. Thank you!

  • Program opens off the screen in a multiple monitor on Windows XP configuration

    Original title: I URGENTLY need help with an XP several problem of monitor!

    Our company has recently migrated to a new office and I got stuck with the displacement of all the computer systems to the new office. To make a long story short, one of our employees use four 4 monitors. After many difficulties, I finally got the monitors working as a horizontal screen with scrolling smoothly from left to right.

    However, I have a BIG problem. One of the programs of this employee uses disappears (flies off the screen right most) when maximized. I can bring it by moving to the right screen, but I can't understand how to do that a permanent solution. ANYONE - your help would be appreciated. Is it a matter of swapping the screens? It was rather difficult to get properly prepared screens because it did not meet the order, I tried. Anyway, these people are rare flowers and get bent out of shape, if the program opens on the designated window. Is there a way to specify which window it can open on whether it can be remedied at all times?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Petrovsky9000,

    Have you tried disabling 3 additional screens and then by testing the application? If you need help of deactivation and activation of the monitors, you can use the following as a guide:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/Setup/hwandprograms/monitors.mspx

    If you always lose the application when the window is maximized, try the following:

    1. With 1 active display, maximize the application.
    2. In the display properties window, set the resolution of the single screen for a step down from where it is now and apply the changes.
    3. Accept the new resolution, and now to see if your application is in the center of the screen.
    4. Now go ahead and set the resolution to what it was and and apply the changes.
    5. Make sure the application is always visible and maximized correctly. If so, go ahead and turn the other 3 views and see if everything works properly.
    Here are a few steps that solved the problem for my own systems in the past. I hope this helps!

  • Windows Vista - stuck on logging off the screen

    I have this same problem with Vista Home Premium that others have had.  When I tried to shut down the computer laptop last night, he is stuck at logging off-page - with the active circle always renewable.  After 20 minutes or so I was tired so close by using the power button.  This morning when I turned on the laptop, he went to the same page of disconnection. 3 hours later, it's still there!  My technical knowledge is, to say the least, "limited."  I tried to open safe restart mode and pressing F8, as suggested on other threads, but which didn't work - I can not go beyond the logging off the screen. How can I solve this?

    I had the same problem... This method works.

    Turn on the computer and when the screen shows recovery Windows press the space key.

    You will be presented with 2 options - either to continue with system resume or to remove the Hibernation file and start with primer system - choose the second option - you're fixed!

  • Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen

    Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen. It started after the uninstall of Registry Mechanic and PC Tools, but this cannot be bound. IE 9 seems to be particularly affected. So do not display all of the windows that show on the taskbar.

    Use the Windows logo key & left arrow several times for each windows application through their positions until they appear on the screen.

    This problem is normally reported after someone used an external monitor as the applications try to open in the same position they had when they were last open - so if there was an external monitor last time now disconnected, they will try to open it in the middle of nowhere.

    I know not, or the other tools that you mention, but if they are registry cleaners then they could also affect other parts of your system.

  • Div too long, extends off the screen, h Tags does not

    Hello again, sorry to ask so little time for assistance, but for every single thing this forum helped me with I have learned a lot about the construction of the site, so I am appreciative of all your help so far anyway.

    The problem I am today is one that I don't remember having a problem with before.

    Link: are we building & Design Showcase

    On this page the content div has been set to a size to fit easily on your browser, however after adding a padding on the sides of it, it doesn't grow the content. Instead, he keeps pushing the content of the page, forcing users to use the scroll bar to see all this. I could just make the width of the div smaller, no?... Well... I also tried, and it seems that even if my div is smaller and can be adapted to the size of the width and padding on the screen, for some reason any padding adds twice the additional empty space and still shoot off the screen, I can't understand why it does.

    I also noticed that my h tags, < h1 > < h2 > < h3 > ect. has stopped working as well. What would be the best way to correct this?

    As always, all the solutions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Width: 100% + padding-left and padding-right = more than 100%:

    do-family: Arial, Helvetica, without serif.

    padding-left: 50px;

    padding-right: 50px;

    'body' is not a Word, I would choose to use as a class for a

  • My dialog windows appear off the screen... Please help

    A lot of my dialog windows styles for paragraph, or when I hang items appear off the screen (I see the bottom of the window, but not from the top which means that I can't move them) - suggestions?

    Laurie

    I tried the solution as Kipp Ky\'Eva posted, but I couldn't find an option to "Gather Windows" (after I plugged my second monitor, I saw that this dialog box was also off the screen).

    I found another solution that worked for me however:

    Go to System Preferences > monitors.

    Click on "scaling".

    Note the screen resolution you are using.

    Change the resolution of the screen to do anything and then change back to your original setting.

    For me, that reset the screen with all the windows in their places.
