I am trying to use CE but can't because I can not see the whole program. I can see the whole box around it but the program inside the box goes down below the bottom line of the box. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to show correctly. If there was a scroll bar to scroll down to the bottom of the text I'd be fine. I am on Windows 8(laptop but set to look/work like 7) but have been able to use the CE just fine before without this issue. I have the same issue with some other programs(mainly the pokemon randomizer Poke Rando and Avast) as well(though changing some settings for display can get those to view right, just not CE) so I think something on my computer got changed but I can't figure out what or how to fix it. Would anyone have any ideas that could help?

Personally, I would try a number of things. Check graphics card driver is fully up to date, ensure that DPI settings aren't affecting anything. I would also verify the integrity of the OS installation by using this command in a command prompt with admin privileges

Code:

sfc /scannow

If DPI is that display settings box that changes the size of stuff, that is set to 100% and can't go any lower. I can't even adjust the individual sizes of stuff anymore even is I switch away from the let me choose one for all setting(I was able to before). I'm not sure about the GC or how to check but seeing this is Win 8 it probably as up to date as it's going to get. On the last thing, tried to run it but need to restart to finish something else from earlier. Will post the results when that's done and I run the scan again.

Make sure to check the screen resolution.

You can add this to the auto run folder in the CE directory as a lua file ".lua". And it will make a menu item for toggling compact mode. So at least you'll be able to see the address list when needed. Not ideal but it could at least get you by tell you figure this out.
Code:

function disableCompactMode()
   if not inMainThread() then
      synchronize(function(thread)
         disableCompactMode()
      end)
      return
   end
   control_setVisible(wincontrol_getControl(MainForm, 0), true)
   control_setVisible(wincontrol_getControl(MainForm, 3), true)
   CompactModeEnabled = false
end

function enableCompactMode()
   if not inMainThread() then
      synchronize(function(thread)
         enableCompactMode()
      end)
      return
   end
   control_setVisible(wincontrol_getControl(MainForm, 0), false)
   control_setVisible(wincontrol_getControl(MainForm, 3), false)
   CompactModeEnabled = true
end

function toggleCompactMode()
   if not inMainThread() then
      synchronize(function(thread)
         toggleCompactMode()
      end)
      return
   end
   if CompactModeEnabled then
      disableCompactMode()
   else
      enableCompactMode()
   end
end

function addCompactModeMenu()
   if not inMainThread() then
      synchronize(function(thread)
         addCompactModeMenu()
      end)
      return
   end
   local name = 'miCTCompactMode'
   local miCompactMode = nil
   for i = 1, MainForm.Menu.Items.Count - 1 do
      if MainForm.Menu.Items[i].Name == name then
         miCompactMode = MainForm.Menu.Items[i]
         break
      end
   end
   if miCompactMode == nil then
      miCompactMode = createMenuItem(MainForm.Menu.Items)
      miCompactMode.Name = name
      miCompactMode.Caption = t('Toggle Compact Mode')
      miCompactMode.OnClick = toggleCompactMode
      MainForm.Menu.Items.add(miCompactMode)
   end
end

addCompactModeMenu()

Thank you all for the help. I think I got it working now though the rest of my computer is back to hard to read. Something I did when messing around with display settings and such much have kicked in after I did the restart I had to to to run that scan(which I didn't have to do since the restart worked). I also found I had to change the font size in CE itself to be smaller which in turn made the box smaller and showed stuff again.

Having trouble again. I should not have closed the CE as now I can't get the compact mode back again. There is a error in the lua when I try to open the CE.
