    Pathpilot monitor resolution

    I just installed Pathpilot on my machine. I removed the computer so I could do the install in my office instead of bending down to access the computer and I used a wide screen monitor. Now that I have moved the computer back to the machine with the older low aspect ratio monitor Pathpilot comes up with the left inch or so of the screen missing. I am assuming it detected the monitor size of the other monitor during install and now it is using the same thing.

    How do I set the screen resolution on Pathpilot now? I did search some other threads and tried powering up the monitor separately so it is on before the computer boots up, but no luck.

    What version of PP? I had the problem all the time before 1.9.12. Power off/on would fix it.Edit: You can also go into ADMIN DISPLAY and check the resolution. I think PP only has 3 settings. You just have to match it to your monitor resolution.

    I have version 1.9.11. Foolish me thought the CD I just got two days ago would have been the most up to date release.

    Now to go search and see where to find updates and how to install them.

    Download the update to a thumbdrive. Go to the Status screen and click update. https://www.tormach.com/pathpilot-up...and-notes.html

    Thanks. I found the update and installed it and same issue. I did try the ADMIN DISPLAY and went to the highest resolution and now I get the whole Pathpilot window to fit on the monitor, but it is not full screen. Is that normal?

    Is your monitor set to auto size?
