Display Image Shift Problem....

[Guest]

I noticed that the desktop is positioned correctly on my 640 x 480 display,
but an executable program screen is shifted to the right and down a bit and
I'm wondering if there is a way to reposition the image to match the way it
looks when the same exe file is run in XP Pro.

BobBoots99,

What do you mean by "an executable program screen"?
I'd think you have some Fonts missing from your XPe image but I just never heard of the term you used and can't even guess what it
is.

I'm running a Visual C program as an exe....which has an embedded dialog that
plays a flash movie. It seems that the number of colors is somehow off and
that it took several hours to have the image centered on the screen. Flash
will scale and center itself to the available screen, but it was getting the
wrong screen info from XPE....and had worked just fine with XP pro.

I'm also unable to rightclick and access screen properties and I'm unable to
find how to load the task manager...so if my close button is "off the
screen", I have to power down to close my app. Is there a guide to finding
where these features are enabled when doing an XPE build?

Bob,

I don't know actually how flash calculate the "available screen" area but if it is somehow related to Windows dialog units it will
depend on the current system font settings (or the dialog resource settings).

In any case you amy want to include the following components:
"Fonts: serife_fon" and "Fonts: seriff_fon"
"Fonts:vgaoem_fon" and "Fonts: Fonts Microsoft_San_Serif".

I'm also unable to rightclick and

Set "Show context menu on Task bar" and "Show context menu on Shell folders" options of "User Interface Core" component settings.

access screen properties and I'm unable to
find how to load the task manager...

Add "Task Manager" component.

so if my close button is "off the
screen", I have to power down to close my app. Is there a guide to finding
where these features are enabled when doing an XPE build?

XPe documentation. Some tutorials there would also be helpful to you.

I too think that there is some fonts missing.

Are you componentalising the installation or installing the s/w on the
xpe machine ? If your making a component then just check whether all
the files,
reg entries , etc are in place.
