I maintain a computer that has six user accounts. I also am setting up a inactivity screensaver on the users. When I right click DESKTOP.....PERSONALIZATION.......SCREENSAVER the screensaver property box opensand I select the screensaver desired and adjust the settings. I then click on APPLY to lock in the settings. This routine works fine with four of the users. On the other two, I am not able to see the APPLY button because the property box is too large, the APPLY button is just off the bottom of the screen. There are no scroll bars I can use and I cannot resize or move the box. I cannot reach the Apply button for these two users. I have tried to change resolution, resize the fonts which are now at 100%. I don't know what else to do. Anybody?

I would look for any difference between the 2 oddball accounts and the others. See if all are set to 96 dpi. See if the system default font size is 8. Strange as it may seem, even after Vista I found when doing a Property Page COM DLL that if I tried to use any font size larger than 8, the tabs of the property page and their contrents and controls went all out of kilter. It had to be 8 or the Property Page was unusable. I suspect it's something along that line.

Also, what folder is the correct folder for the file logoff.exe?

Hello William,

The tutorial below can help show you how to set DPI back to 96 DPI (100%). If needed, Option Three makes it much easier to do when you are unable to see all of the dialogs.

The correct folder for the logoff.exe file would be: "C:\Windows\System32\logoff.exe". What were you doing with it?

Hope this helps. :)
