A major, major update to Dial-a-fix has finally been released: v0.57!
Now I can work on the Dial-a-fix tips page, then v0.58 (which will have an associations fix tool).
I've now gotten $102 USD in donations since setting up the Paypal link! I'm already 1/5 of the way to my goal. Thank you all for your generous donations.
Dial-a-Fix looks great, didn't fix my windows updates issue but saved a ton of time not having to run all of the stops, starts and regsvr32's by hand.
One thing I noticed is that the Tools… and Policies… windows don't display right. the tools window you can't read all of the description at the bottom and the scroll bar on the right doesn't show up even if you expand the window.
And maybe it's normal for my machines but none of the machines I ran Policies.. on showed anything at all in the window.
Great app. Keep it up.
It is caused by something in your display/appearance properties that you have changed. I'm not sure how to reproduce or fix it, but I'm not able to change Dial-a-fix to acommodate this issue, and I've noticed that other programs out there have the same kinds of problems. I have a machine here that screws up several of my dialogs pretty royally, and I can tell that it's his appearance properties because even his Start menu taskbar is half the height it's supposed to be. Other dialogs on this system contain tons of whitespace where there should be none. Everything on here generally looks funny to me. It's probably a DPI setting or some such. If I ever figure out how to combat it, I will let you know.
It's the DPI. Edit: I have fixed the problem! Re-download Dial-a-fix and you should be able to see all of the dialogs properly again. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
