    Try stretching the window as far as it will go to the maximum size by grabbing the corners, then click on the maximize button. If my memory is correct there was an issue as you described it with every install on XP and Win2000/NT. Once you did the stretch routine, the issue would not repeat until you had to reinstall. Not sure about Vista however. I do know that there are issues with vista and KeyCreator in using the help files so Vista is not a recommended platform for KeyCreator at this time.

    We just got Acer AL2223W flat screens in our engineering department and to fix this issue;

    click on "Tools" then "Options" and click on "Display". Set your Screen Size to what your monitor is and your circles will come out round again.

    Thumbs up Thanks

    Thanks.....I have done some work at home for two years.....and I just ignored this problem on my laptop computer. This was never an issue for 14 years at work because of normal size monitors.

    I really appreciated that. I will always learn something new....

    Default CADKEY 97

    Speaking of old Cadkey versions, you wouldn't happen to have a copy of cadkey 97 or even an extra copy of 99 you want to get rid of, do you??

    FYI for most 1080p monitors, if you set your X to 1920 and your Y to 1080 you get a microscopic cursor and i think that means its rendering a lot more and it runs choppy. Set the X to 16 and set your Y to 9 and you should be all set! BTW that means a 16:9 ratio, which is extremely common these days on flat screen/wide screen monitors!
