Printer dialog boxes are getting chopped off

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm running an NVIDIA GeForce Ti 4600 128 MB video card, with the latest
drivers, and using a SONY GDM-FW900 monitor at 1600x1024.

I have a desktop display problem, which appeared after I attempted to change
various system display settings, to hopefully correct a situatuion re the
ruler's numeric markings in WP12. I also made changes to other display
variables which are provided via right-clicking the desktop, and clicking on
Properties>Settings>Advanced. After taking the steps to get the ruler's
numbers back in WP12, I did not like the side effects on other displays, so
I attempted to return all those settings that I changed, back to normal.

Unfortunately, I must not have restored things properly, as I now have a
display problem with several of my printer preference & setting windows
where I can control printer activities, and set preferences and settings for
print jobs. I've gone through the list of display items that I had played
with, but can't seem to correct the problem with those windows.

Everything looks exactly like I had it before - except 3 of my printers have
the right side of the printer dialog boxes chopped off. A large portion of
the right side of many of those windows is chopped off, and some also have
the bottomnow chopped off, with no way to access the controls that I need to
have available.

Strangely, some of my printers seem to have the dialog boxes OK. Others are
a mess.

I've tried reinstalling printer drivers, but that made no difference.

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to where to look, and what settings are
messing up things for me. Having this window situation makes it difficult to
use the affected printers.

Thanks -

Ron Hirsch
