Missing part of header area on Project Central Web Page

[Peter Nolan]

Hi,
I am using MS Project 2000 + Project Central + SQL Server 2000 + IIS
5.1 on win XP Pro SP1.

I used to have an old Dell latitude with Win2000 SP4 and all was
working ok.

I recently took delivery of my nice shiny new Dell 8600, WinXPPro SP1
with WUXGA screen running at 1920x1200. I'm trying to get project
central to work on the new laptop.

What I am seeing is that the area at the top of the screen where it has
things like, home, new task, change server mode button etc does not
scale on the new screen. :-(.....

Even if I change the resolution back to 1024x768 these things are only
partially there. It is leaving about 2-3 lines above the headings of
'home - tasks - views - etc' but the area does not seem large enough to
put the text that is supposed to go there.

These new WUXGA screens and the OS do things like scale icons to 4x
their real size etc to make things visible on the screen. The
resolution of 1920x1200 is simply off the charts so these things need
to be done.

My guess is that projectcentral was not written to run on such a high
resolution screen.

What I am asking is if anyone knows any setting/option inside project
central (or XP pro) for me to be able to see my full screen on project
central 2000 again?

Has anyone had the problem of WUXGA and Project Central 2000 not being
displayed properly? (Here's hoping!!)

Thanks

Peter

It may be the video and again it may be an incompatibility with WinXP
itself. Project Central never was a fully mature product and it may simply
be having problems running under the more recent OS. You might want to post
your message over in the Server group as well in case any of the server
gurus have some ideas.

Hi Steve,
do you mean windows xp pro or IIS server group? Don't like wasting
peoples time on this stuff..

Also, I reinstalled on a win2000 SP4 at the office and it is still fine
on that machine...so I can use it for my project as we are still on
win2000...but it leaves me without a working copy for my laptop.... :-(
Best Regards

Peter

Neither one - try microsoft.public.project.server
