OP JimA Apprentice J Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 176 Philadelphia, PA	Some of my programs don't play nice with my new wide screen 19" LCD (The Blues Guitarist, Essential Blues Guitar, to name a few.) The audio or video position segment of the window covers part of the keyboard and part of the controls. Anyone else notice this? It there a workaround? I have the latest updates. Thanks, Jim

You may have to try several to see if there is any change that is acceptable. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

With the wide screen monitors, it seems that the window tries to take up the full witdth of the screen no matter which resolution is selected thereby causing problems with the alignment of certain elements. Thanks, Jim

As a workaround, before using either of those programs I right click on the desktop, select Properties, select the Themes tab, select Windows Classic in the dropdown listbox and click the OK button. Hope that helps, -Ed

You can check it out on the BIAB forum under " what are you using for live setup" or something to that effect.

PGMusic said they were going to fix it a while back, but I haven't heard anything since. Here's the thread where I reported it a year ago.
