    Default MC v9.1 screen problem, can't see all of "file get" window

    I'm running 9,1 on win7. I can get around a couple of the problems but I can't figure this one out;
    When I try to "get" an MC9 file the popup window isn't large enough to see the sample view for that file. I have several hundred files so the small view window is very helpful for me. It will not expand the view by grabbing the edge of the window with the mouse pointer. I've been playing with text size but the only way I seem to be able to display more data in the popup is to reduce the screen resolution but I run 2 monitors with AutoCad on one and MC on the other. When I change resolution both screens change but I need the higher resolution for AutoCad.

    Ideas?

    F3 for refresh.

    You can try right clicking the file window top bar, then select 'move'.
    You should get a cross arrow type icon in the middle, click and hold the left mouse button to drag the window where you can see what you want.

    MasterCam since V6.12a. Gcode since 1983.

    That just moves the window, I can do that anytime. I can't increase the size of the window that's the problem. It seems to be an issue trying to run old DOS based MC in Win7 even in compatibility mode.

    It would seem to be a problem relative to the monitor. It works fine on my Win7 machine with the old 17" monitor. I have MC9.1 installed on 2 comps with 21" monitors 1920x1080, both different brands but same resolution. Neither displays the "get" window properly, only the 17" (1280x1024) monitor does.

    I found the solution for this particular problem. Under "All Programs" in the Start menu click on the MasterCam folder. Select "CNC Reg". In the window that pops up select the Lathe, Mill or whatever module you are wanting to fix and reset the values in both "Dialog position" and "persistent column width keys". This will reset the window and all is right in the world once again.
