I have had Dopus 8 installed for some time and working fine. It starts with windows with no listers open and when I double click the desktop a lister opens full screen. Today I installed a new video card. Now when I double click, the lister opens full screen but not quite. The lister has about 5 pixels of desktop showing on all four sides. If I minimize and restore the lister fills the screen, but when I close and open a new lister the reduced size lister is back. The problem started with the new video card, but dopus is the only program this is happening to. I have nothing special installed in windows, nothing like window blinds. Using the same resolution as before. Have not tried reinstalling yet, but would like to avoid that if possible. Thanks.
Give this a try:[ol][li] Open a new lister[/li]
[li] Size each of the four sides individually to take up the whole screen, by hovering your mouse pointer over each side until the mouse pointer turns into an arrow handle.[/li]
[li] Keep this lister open[/li]
[li] Goto: Settings Menu - Preferences Layout - Default Settings[/li]
[li] Drag the finder tool over the open lister, that you just sized.[/li]
[li] Click the Apply button[/li]
[li] Click on the Opening Listers tab[/li]
[li] See if either double-click event is configured for a new lister or a saved layout. If it is set to a new lister, you just specified the size for the new lister following the steps above. If it is set to a saved layout, then after sizing the lister save it as a layout, on the Saved Layouts tab.[/li][/ol]
What kind of video card is it? Do the drivers install any kind of "Desktop" or "Window Manager" feature? If so try turning it off.
If you're using multiple monitors, make sure you're letting Windows handle them and not the video card's drivers. (Some card drivers, e.g. Matrox ones, still have the old multi-monitor hacks in them which were required before Windows 2000 came out with proper mutli-monitor support, and for some reason they still enable them when the OS does the job better now, but you can disable them via an option burried in the Display control panel.)
After trying all the suggestions with no results. I finally noticed one other program with the same problem. Now I knew it was not a dopus problem. I changed various settings in the video driver and the problem is resolved. Sure whish I knew what setting I changed, I tried quite a few. Thanks all.
Well at least you have the issue solved and an idea where to look next time.
