This is the way Quicken has always worked. Certainly in 2008 and now
2010 versions

That's convenient! (The handbasket, I mean)

I seem to remember that at some point there were conflicts between
certain videocards and Quicken, but that is a very vague remembrance.
So, can you replicate your problem if you set your videocard and monitor
to something very simple, like VGA? It'll look awful, I suspect, but
maybe you can focus better on what the problem is.

Have you tried the suggestion in my first reply in this thread? Betcha
dollars to donuts that you haven't, and that if you do it will work.

Cal, I tried to try the suggestion but could not figure out which icon
I was supposed to click on. The Quicken icon in the toolbar at the
bottom of the screen does not show anything that could be interpreted
as a "Compatibility tab." I tried several other icons on some of the
screens but never found the sequence indicated. Gordon

Hi, Gordon - As more or less <vbg> noted in the reply (I now remember I
had to read it several times when I had the identical problem you do):

1. Right click on the icon that opens Quicken.
2. Left click on Properties.
3. Left click on the Compatibility tab.
4. Select by left clicking in the box (I'm assuming it's not already
selected) "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

Got it and it works, now. Thanks, Cal. I was confused as to what icon
I was to right click. I thought the icon on the task bar when Quicken
was running was the icon that I should click, but I see it was the
desktop icon instead. I have my desktop icons hidden except when I
need them, so I never got around to right clicking this one.

But, there is now a new problem...the whole screen arrangement has
been changed and there are now two panels side by side...Holdings and
Accounts Attributes...I can view all the details on the Holdings panel
by scrolling but in the earlier layout it was stretched across the
entire screen and I didn't need to scroll.

This is not really a problem in that the columns that I would have to
scroll to the right to see aren't needed often, and I can easily
scroll to the right when I do need to look at them.

Thanks, Gordon
