(Closed)Windows 7 - HTML Screens
I was told I could no longer keep my XP machine - no matter how much I argued - so now have a new PC with Windows 7 and IE8. Among my other problems, all of my HTML screens for WebFocus overlap. List Boxes now have slide bars, text is running into each other and radio buttons have all shifted and the buttons are now on top of the text. I've tried searching around but found no solution. Making my screen bigger or smaller does not help.

Any ideas?

Hi Linda,
Click on Tools and click Compatibility View to turn it on. That should do it...
Hope all is well!

Can you upgrade to IE9/10? Or, go back to IE7?

I think something else is going on other than a change in your operating system and IE. If you created the HTML screens using WebFOCUS, did you try bringing them into WebFOCUS and resaving? Also as WAZ suggested, did you try a different browser and what was the result?

They have us locked down and I can't install another browser.

Opening and saving the HTML does not change anything.

Is it possible that the Zoom feature made some stuff bigger than 100%?
