There's probably some slicker freeware which does the same sort of resizing.

I gave it a try, but on my system with my graphics card, although it expanded the window and I was able to see the info in the columns more easily, some of the buttons at the bottom of the program window were outside the window border and couldn't be accessed (as, I notice, are the buttons in your image.) I also tried Autosizer: http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/ but it didn't do anything to the window. As for finding such a program at a freeware site, you have to wade through hits for image and web page resizers. -- John Corliss BS206.
