| I have tried everything I can think of to resize the Options Window so I can see its entire contents but have been unable to do so. It does not show all options and I cannot save any changes. Very fortunate that I can see just a small portion of the print tab in print CD Label so can at least print them out. Any suggestions out there? Thank You |

No, there were one or two other guys with the same problem.
Please have a look at the search function as I can't remember if and how they have resolved that problem.

I'm also having this problem. Changing resolution, font, reinstalling, updating drivers etc. etc etc makes no difference.
I have come up with a workaround for anyone that's interested, though it is a bit of a kludge (actually it's a lot of a kludge.)
Go to whatever options page you want and make whatever changes you need.
Now start pressing the TAB key. The first time you hit it something in the window will have a faint box drawn around it. As you continue to TAB this highlight box will move from one item to another. When it disappears that means it has highlighted something that it outside of the window, probably either the "Save" or "Cancel" button.
Hit enter, close the window, reopen and see if the changes have been saved. If so the first tab has taken you to the "Save" button. If not its taken you to the "Cancel" button, so try again but hit "Enter" after Tabbing outside of the visible area twice.
Yes, I know it's horrible and takes ages, but it does work (sort of). |

Thanks for that workaround! I think you're the only one who has managed that problem.
It's really time for Ale to correct this bug or whatever the cause of is... |

Yes, I agree.
I've been using the program for several years now going back to version 3 or 4 I think, can't really remember which, and the problem existed in some form or another in all versions I've used, though it seems to be getting worse in each iteration.
I didn't raise a bug report once I'd found a workaround because it's a complex piece of software for one man to develop and maintain, but for what it's worth, Alessio if you're reading, in my opinion you are doing a disservice to a fine piece of software by constantly adding more features instead of making what you've got work properly. |

I have this same problem...
I can't resize Options window.
Button "Maximize" is no active, resizing on edges of window too.
Active are only "Minimize" and "Close" buttons.
XMM installed from version 7,1,4,0 and upgraded online to version 7,1,4,3.
Did you found any solution?
I apologize for my english... :) |

It's me again :P
I think so problem with options window occurs in Win 7.
I have a two laptops, both with Win XP.
1st works with resolution 1024x768, 2nd with 1680x1050.
On both, I have access to all options in Options window. I can't maximize Options window, because "Maximize" is no active (only "Minimize" and "Close"), but i have visible all fields and buttons.
I don't know nothing about Vista, because I don't have computer with Vista.

| Very nice to now have the options window shown with its full contents. Now if only the Cover Print Manager would show entirely also. |
