Windows 10 Compatibility

Is there an icon in the task bar? Can you use Windows Key + Up Arrow to maximize the window? What happens if you use Task View?

Yes. Yes.

Yes there is an icon in the taskbar. But no option to Maximize.

Windows + "Up Arrow" lets me cycle through the game systems on HL.

Task View pulls the Window out and to the center, but selecting or otherwise clicking the HL window returns HL to the lower right corner.


***GOT IT. This is most likely a temp fix but Windows key + "Up Arrow" let me cycle through all options, even "Ok" and "Finished" Buttons. I'm worried if I close it will I have to go through the same silly nonsense when I open HL again.

It sounds like Windows 10 changed the resolution of your display. The simplest thing to do would be to change your resolution back to where it used to be. But if that's not something you want to do...

You probably can't move the HL window because there is a modal dialog active that prevents moving it. HL is probably telling you that it's in demo mode now because your system identity information has changed.

After launching HL, press the <spacebar> and/or <Enter> key a couple times. This should get you through the modal dialogs, except for the Configure Hero dialog. When that appears, you need to press the <Esc> key. At that point, you should be able to move the HL window. Then exit and restart HL. It should remember the new location.

Just upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop, and my Herolab window is stuck in low resolution so it's HUGE on the screen. Any way to get it to look smaller?

[AndrewD2]

Did your display resolution get changed? Do you need new video drivers?

[brewdus]

Updated video drivers and everything! My display resolution is 1368x768. Windows says that since my resolution is less than 1200x900 that some programs might not fit on the screen. I'm assuming this is what's happening.

[AndrewD2]

Huh, that's the same screen res as my wife's computer and we have no problrems with it.

[brewdus]

I've tried every bloody thing I can think of and nothing seems to work! It's quite vexing!
