    Default Windows Layout Problem

    I updated my computers today and now have an odd problem basically making WoW unplayable (well, unboxable).

    I'm using the same setup as I did six hours ago for ISBoxer, but my windows layout no longer works. I run one monitor at 2560x1600 and have 5 windows of WoW up. I run the main window on the right and the four alternate windows along the left side.

    --------------------
    | 2.................. |
    | 3.........1....... |
    | 4.................. |
    | 5.................. |
    ____________

    This setup has run just fine for months.

    However, for some reason now it makes all the windows about 50% bigger than they originally were, leaving region 5 down in the nether regions somewhere off screen, region 4 only about 30% visable, and region 1 only about half visible. It is as if I'm running the same settings on a monitor that is only 1920x1200 or something. Looks something like this:

    --------------------
    | 2.................. |
    | .....................|
    | 3......... 1 ......|
    |..................... |
    _ 4_________|

    5 - I assume 5 is down here somewhere off screen since it does load

    Screen resolution didn't change - definitely at 2560x1600. Checked the windows layouts and everything is the same (and set up correctly for a 2560x1600 monitor).

    I tried copying the Innerspace folder from a backup, deleting and reinstalling it from scratch, and even using the patcher and the -d3d11 tag - none of these helped.

    Any ideas?

    You could try re-creating your window layout, which is the usual solution (I see you said you reinstalled.. fresh config?). If that doesn't work, it might be from the dpi/font scaling setting in Windows.

    OK, created a new Window Layout and used the AutoLayout tool. This designed the green regions with the rightmost window (region 1) having it's bottom right corner at 1705, 1067 (not 2560,1600 as I would expect). ISBoxer now loads the windows where I can see them, but they are blurry due to the monitor trying to emulate this resolution layout.

    That makes things playable, though it doesn't look like my repeater regions work. Any ideas on how to get ISBoxer to recognize my true resolution?

    Thanks so much for your help, Lax - it is much appreciated!

    Went back and read your post again and it prompted me to check out my display settings. There is a magnifier option there that I had set to Larger - 150%. I set it back down to Medium - 125% and went back to my original Windows Layouts. That was it - everything is back to normal!

    Problem solved - thanks!
