I have to admit that "sometimes" Windows drives me crazy. Dialogs should resize automagically according to system metrics and this happens 99% of the times. But... sometimes... it doesn't.
Anyway: the configuration dialog is resizable and it should remember the last size you set.
Can you confirm this?

The dialog is resizable, and remembers its last size, but even if I enlarge it, the portion I can't see does not become visible. In other words, resizing doesn't help.

Could you upload a screenshot of an enlarged config dialog so that I can try to figure out what's the problem?
By the way: does the SEND REPORT (INFO tab) dialog show the same issue?

The screen shot attached here is what it looks like for me--no matter how I size the window. As far as I can tell, the Info dialog does look fine.

In case it helps, cap-001.png shows an enlarged window.

I see. My guess is that one the default controls from Delphi 7 does not properly handle the resize process with controls anchored to the right side.
I will do my best to find a workaround. It won't be an easy task, but I agree it's upsetting to see it the way you "see" it :-)

Could you send me an email so that I can send you back a beta?
The email address you will use should be able to receive a 1MB ZIP file containing an EXE.

I just sent an email to alfredo at almico dot com. I hope that was OK. (I didn't want to post my email address here.)

You did the right thing. Privacy is always one of my main concerns.

Did this turn out to be too hard to fix?
