    Windows 8.1 - EA Start OK Button Problem

    Formerly I used Windows XP notebook, everything is smooth.
    I just bought a new Windows 8.1 notebook ASUS K401LB. I put in TickMill demonion on the new notebook and recompile my EA. As soon as I connected my EA#12288;on a chart, I press the OK button but no result. I have to continue pressing nearly approximately 1 minute then the EA start.
    Please help me resolve this problem. #12288;

    quote The problem you have is your screen is set into the wrong size, the MT4 platform only works on Smaller or 100%. Go into your screen settings on your laptop ( your default setting is likely Larger - 150% ) and reset it, this is a problem MT4 has needed for a long moment. In the event that you needed a touch display it possibly might have worked by pressing OK however you can see your buttons are not set correctly on your own screenshot.
    hi cja, Thank you very much.
    I checked my screen setting as shown in the following screenshot, the default is 1920x1080, I switch to others, the buttons place still seem exactly the same, and the problem still remain. I am able to click all the progr, the one problem is it take a while to reply.

    It was not the Resolution settings that needed to be changed it is the text dimensions that needs to be altered.
    Right click on the background click Personalise/Display and a window like my screenshot should look or an choice to modify the text size.

    Windows 7 and 8.1 has a built-in Magnifier however you may need to turn it on but you could first attempt to see if it's triggered, hold down the Windows Symbol key and click on the symbol to make the window bigger or - key to make it smaller. The magnifier also has a couple of display options that you may check out.

    This is only one of MT4's shortcomings.

    You can fix the little text size by using an external manifest file. It requires a registry edit, which isn't especially complex but a few folks have an aversion for it.

    The issue you have is that your display is set to the incorrect dimensions, the MT4 platform just functions on Smaller or 100%. Go into your screen settings on your notebook ( your default preference is probably Larger - 150 percent ) and reset it, this can be an issue MT4 has had for a long time. If you had a touch screen it perhaps might have functioned by pressing OK but you can view your buttons aren't set correctly in your own screenshot.
