I don't have ATI Hydravision installed on my computer. I have an ATI video card but the Hydravision I do not have.
This has been an issue for 2 years now. It is frustrating when a program works on XP but not on 7. Granted it is slow on XP but at least it works. I am using the same computer for both. I have Windows 7 with virtual XP. So if it is not a Windows 7 issue and it's not a paint.net issue then it can't be a video card issue as it works fine on XP with the same video card.
I have tried using Corel and it works for some things but
Paint.net just works better for certain things. Well for most things.
I got the tools window and the layers window to shrink properly. The history window and the color pallette are still going full screen so I closed them to get done what I had to get done.
I feel that there has got to be a way around this because it works fine in XP with that same video card. And if I can get two of the offending windows to shrink why won't the other two?
So I tried opening and closing Paint.net in a variety of ways and discovered something else. If I close all the little windows - tools, history, palette, and layers - and then close Paint.net when I reopen Paint.net it opens fine, but with no little windows. I can then use the function keys to get them to open correctly or I am at least able to shrink them to their proper size. But if I forget to close those windows before closing Paint.net then when I open Paint.net those windows open full screen and can't be shrunk.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jessica
