I can´t see the whole screen

Hi to everybody

 

Well I have tried with different resolutions, but even with the highest one 1366x768 I can´t see all the panels on the Inventor screens. It´s like my screen is to small to show all the windows inventor has.

 

How can I solve the problem?

 

I attach an image to show the problem, I can´t see what´s under the "point alignment" option, I can´t see the "accept" nor "cancel" buttons.

 

I tried to search on google and here in the forum but I couldn´t find anything, I hope not to ask something has already been asked before.

the system requirements say you need at least a 1,280 x 1,024 or higher screen resolution

system requirements are here: http://usa.autodesk.com/autodesk-inventor/system-requirements/

if your resolution is to small not sure if you can do anything about it

Ups, I didn´t know that, thank you for your reply. At this moment it´s a nightmare but I have a tip to select the buttons I can´t see, I use the tab button several times and click, sometimes I click cancel, sometimes accept it´s like guessing.

 

Maybe that helps people with the same problem.

Do a google search on "infinite screen", it's freeware that allows for scrolling a virtually larger desktop.

I haven't tried it myself, but maybe it helps.

Otherwise you can always search for other virtual desktop software.

Look carefully at your display settings.  Some graphics systems (Nvidia comes to mind) will have settings that allow you to expand your desktop to a larger resolution than the actual screen. The desktop scrolls when your cursor hits the edge of the screen.

I used to have that problem in classrooms on data projectors that at the time didn't support high resolution.

My solution was to count the number of tabs needed from a particular location and memorize.

or use your video settings to rotate the screen, click ok and then rotate it back

Thank you to everybody.

 

FInally I solved the problem changing one of the display options, I had medium display 125%, I changed it to default 100% and now I can see everything, I´m very happy. I didn´t even know that I had the 125 option activated.

 

Before that I tried windowslider, unfortunately the desktop is infinite only in the left to right direction, but nothing changed in the top to bottom  direction, so it didn´t solve the problem.

 

I didn´t test the option of rotating the screen since it is solved, sorry.
