Err Msg: The Taskbar Is So Large That Greetings Workshop... (192307)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Greetings Workshop 2.0

This article was previously published under Q192307

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to start Greetings Workshop, you may receive the following error message:
The taskbar is so large that Greetings Workshop doesn't have enough room to work normally. Please make the taskbar as small as possible on the bottom of the screen.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if your Screen Area or Desktop Area setting in the Display tool in Control Panel is 640 x 480 pixels.

When your screen resolution setting is 640 x 480 pixels and you have increased the size of the Windows taskbar, the Greetings Workshop window may not have enough room to be displayed.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, use either of the following methods:

Reduce the Height of the Taskbar

Reducing the height of the Windows taskbar may resolve this issue. To do this, move the pointer to the top border of the taskbar (the pointer becomes a double-arrow). Press the left mouse button, and drag the taskbar border down to reduce the height of the taskbar.

Increase the Screen Resolution

To increase the Desktop Area or Screen Area setting, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click Display.
  3. Click the Settings tab.
  4. Move the Screen Area or Desktop Area slider toward the More setting to increase the screen resolution. A resolution setting of 800 x 600 pixels should resolve this issue.
  5. Click OK, and then close Control Panel.
