I've downloaded a game demo. During the instal process I get to a window
where the "OK" button is out of view. It won't 'maximize' and I've tries
changing the display properties (size) for the screen but it makes no
difference. Anyone any ideas? I'm sure there must be a simple solution.

Try temporarily setting the screen resolution higher, that will make
everything on the screen appear smaller and should resolve the issue. Once
installation is complete, you can return the screen to the resolution you
desire. Control Panel\Display\Settings and then move the Screen Resolution
slider to the right to the next highest resolution available.

Michael - I tried that but it didn't make any difference. Nevertheless I
later discovered that the demo had installed anyway!!! (found the icon on the
desktop). Seems to work OK.
Thanks for the prompt response - Happy Christmas
