tools window problem

[freetrial]

Hi, my computer have problem displaying the right size of the tool/color/history/layers windows. they are always maximized and cover the rest of software interface. They can not be resized. The only choice is to close them.

I am using Windows XP SP2 with dual LCD display(1280x1024) supported by a radeon x700 video card.

Thanks.

If the tool windows are really really big, then you most likely have something like ATI HydraVision (or another "multimonitor manager" type program) installed. Historically, that has always been the cause, and disabling or uninstalling these not-very-useful programs always fixes it.

Thanks for your reply. I uninstalled the hydravision and after reboot, the tool and color windows are back to normal, but not the history and layer window. What should I do next?

How about... Windows > Reset window locations :?:

Can you resize these windows by hand? If not, show us a screenshot.

freetrial, I'm glad it worked out!

Rick, I have confirmed that "Windows > Reset window locations" does not also reset the floating window sizes back to default. Shouldn't it also do this?

Perhaps make another button?

Example: Window > Return to Default Size

That's why it's called Reset Window Locations. It doesn't change the size.
