Screen Resolution or Problem? Thomas J. Carnegie 02-22-2007

I'm using Quiclen Deluxe 2007 with a screen resolution of 800 x 600.
The Quicken screen "One Step Update Summary" seems to big for the
screen with the "close" option at the very lowest right hand corner of
the screen so that only a part of it shows making it somewhat awkward
to close. Is it me, my screen resolution or did Intuit make the screen
too big?

Technology progresses and software producers make assumptions about the =
capabilities of the average end users' machine.

An SVGA screen resolution (800x600) is considered outdated by many =
software developers in today's world.

Notwithstanding this, the System Requirements for Quicken Deluxe 2007 do =
in fact say that 800x600 is supported. They go on to say 1024x768 is =
recommended.

See the "System Requirements & FAQs" section on the following page:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance/deluxe-money-management.jhtml

I don't have Quicken Deluxe 2007, so the following may not work for you: =
in my version (Quicken XG 2004), the Online Update Summary is a =
resizable window - I can just grab the edges of the window and reduce =
the size to about 790 x 500 pixels without losing any information. =
Check to see if yours is also...

Next, if you've done anything funky with your screen fonts (some people =
with vision problems use a Windows feature to make the screen fonts 25% =
larger), then likely that's the actual cause of your problem.

Lastly, I would go out and get a flat panel display with a 1280x1024 or =
larger resolution & get rid of my laptop / CRT with an 800x600 =
resolution. Really, it's time...
