Application Window Refuses Resize

I am running Windows7 Starter on an Acer Netbook. I installed the Kodak furnished version of the Arcsoft MediaImpressions software. When I start the application it opens a window to full screen but hides the toolbar below the bottom of the screen. The window refuses to be resized. I have also tried running in the XPSP3 compatibility mode and had no luck.

It seems like you are experiencing an issue with resizing the application window of the Arcsoft MediaImpressions software on your Windows 7 Starter Acer Netbook. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot this problem: 1. Alt + Spacebar Trick: - Try pressing "Alt" + "Spacebar" on your keyboard. This key combination opens the window menu. If the window menu appears, select the "Size" option and then use the arrow keys to resize the window. 2. Changing Screen Resolution: - Adjust the screen resolution of your netbook. Sometimes, changing the screen resolution can help in properly displaying the application window. - Right-click on the desktop and select "Screen resolution." Try lowering the resolution to see if it helps. 3. Compatibility Settings: - Since you've already tried running the application in XPSP3 compatibility mode, you can also try running it in other compatibility modes. - Right-click on the application shortcut or executable, go to "Properties," and then navigate to the "Compatibility" tab to change the compatibility settings. 4. Update Graphics Drivers: - Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated graphics drivers can sometimes cause display issues. - You can check for driver updates on the Acer website or through the Device Manager in Windows. 5. Check for Software Updates: - Make sure that Arcsoft MediaImpressions software is up to date. Updating the software to the latest version might resolve compatibility issues with Windows 7 Starter. 6. Run as Administrator: - Right-click on the application shortcut and select "Run as Administrator." This can sometimes help with permissions that might be affecting window resizing. 7. Contact Support: - If none of the above steps solve the issue, consider reaching out to Arcsoft support for assistance. They may have specific solutions or updates for this problem. Try these suggestions and see if they help in resolving the issue with resizing the application window of Arcsoft MediaImpressions on your netbook running Windows 7 Starter.
