Help for the blind: Camera raw image dialog box fails at 800×600

There are no problems, so far, with the rest of PS8 running at 800×600. Is there a cure for this RAW-image window problem?
–David

A friend with macular degneration is an excellent photographer and he wishes to take advantage of PS8’s RAW image processing ability. Although legally blind, he uses PS8 on a 22" monitor set to 800×600 resolution with some success. PS is running on Windows XP Pro SP1.
When the the camera raw image dialog box opens in 800×600 display resolution, its content is truncated vertically along the right edge of the window. The OK and Cancel buttons are half missing, as are the tabs below. Roughly the right 20% of the window appears to lie, invisible, outside the window frame.

An attempt to resize the window fails. When the upper left corner is clicked with intent to drag to a smaller window, the window pops toward the lower right, moving about 20% of the way accross the screen. No resizing occurs. The window can be dragged back to its original position.

There is a utility called Powerstrip that allows you to customise an awful lot of the graphics capabilities of your display card.
It might be possible to create a custom display setting of maybe 800 x 700 which would allow your friend to see the entirety of the dialog screen Quote from pc world download site

"PowerStrip v3.49

Access your graphics board directly from your system tray with this handy utility. PowerStrip offers a variety of features, including desktop size and calibration controls, custom display settings, system diagnostics, font controls, customizable hotkeys, and on-the-fly color depth.

Hope this helps
