758364 2009-03-21 23:27:00 I have the same program running on two computers.
1. A Vista Desktop w 19" screen 1280x1024 pixels 75hz refresh.
2. An XP Pro Notebook with 8.9" screen 1280x768 pixels 60hz refresh.

I patched the program no problem on the desktop.
But when I went to patch it on the notebook only half the install patch window shows. I've tried changing resolutions but only half the patch window shows.
I've tried getting a screencapture but no luck.
The problem seems similar to one I used to experience with SpyBot S&D where half the pragram window would disappear, I couldn't figure that one out either.

Try right click the program>compatibility tab and run as 800x600

Should that fail to fix it, try updating your Video drivers
