GW 2.0: Dialog Balloons Centered On Screen (180715)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Greetings Workshop 2.0
This article was previously published under Q180715

SYMPTOMS

All dialog boxes or dialog balloons are in the middle of the screen rather than along the sides of the screen.

CAUSE

This error occurs on some systems that have an ATI graphics adapter. The ATI adapter has a setting that is automatically centering all dialog boxes.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. In Control Panel, double-click the Display icon.
  3. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab.
  4. Click to clear the Center Dialogs check box in the lower-left corner, and then click OK to close the Display Properties dialog box.

    By clearing the Center Dialogs check box, you ensure that all the dialog boxes or balloons displayed by different software programs are positioned according to the design of each individual software program, rather than having them all be centered in the middle of the screen.
  5. Restart the computer.
