every time i want to make a DTM with the DTM editor i cant see:

what should i do??

Maximise it maybe??
Or pull it sideways

if you double click on the blue bar at the top it should work :)

T ~ M

i maximised the window:

what should i do?

Lol, that's actually quite funny, and I have no clue at all what could be causing that

A restart maybe?

Maybe reinstall?

Eerik.

When I said that I didn't have no clue how that could happen, I did mean it, there's no possible way I can think of how that could've happened (by itself), it shouldn't happen… So I doubt reinstalling SCAR will fix the program…

oh i see

its your screen rev…….

Wade007 we have the same problem. Maybe we arent lucky.

Probably, I tried it on a virtual machine and it worked just fine! Maybe…..

As a quick 'fix', you can just Print Screen what you want, paste it into paint, save it (as a .bmp) on your desktop and load it into the DTM editor.
Another thing to do is to try moving your scar program as far right as it can go, while still being able to see the 'Tools' option along the top, then choosing DTM editor.
Also, operating system, graphics card etc. may be useful in solving the problem.

how can i load it into the DTM editior?

i moved scar programs and nothis has changed.

The pasting into dtm editor doesn't work. I tried it.

Once you save the bitmap, open up the DTM window, then Edit -> Load Image and go to your desktop and choose the screen shot you just saved.

Oh, also, the bitmap screen doesn't work for me! Dang… I might just have to use a Virtual Pc for these.

:( :( its just the same :( :(

What operating system are you using? If it worked on a VM, then it might be because of that. Try running the program as an XP if you have Vista, or 98 if you have XP (right-click -> properties -> Compatability -> Tick the box then choose an option from the dropdown (this is how you do it for XP, but I'm sure it's the same or similiar in Vista))
Also, what Scar version are you using? Might be that it's a bit buggy/old.

3.12c
I tried all of those but it still didn't work!

I reckon the soultion is to have a side ways scroll on the DTM editor thing si even tho its out of the screen u can scroll it back in or something.

I have no clue what is causing this, really, but I'll have a look at it… Btw, I would appreciate it if everyone posted their bugs in SCAR on my forums: http://www.freddy1990.com/forums/index.php?board=15.0
Then I have a more centralized place to check for people's bugs

Ill be posting stuff on your forum ;)

I know what to do but it will be extremely dangerous and you might end up losing lots of hardware.

Well spit it out. Tell us and we will decide if we want to or not.

Tell me then

2 options only use ddtm's or try changing your resolution small installing then maximizing your resolution

I got same problem, its quite annoying is there a fix for it?

Im on laptop and got vista


edit: nvm found a fix to it

If your text is too big you might have large fonts enabled. I don't know where to change this in Vista but on XP it's right click desktop -> properties -> advanced. This could be messing up the DTM form layout, but it doesn't seem likely. But hey give it a shot, see if you can find it and set it to small fonts/96dpi.

Although Vista does use a totally different model for scaling screen elements so they might have removed the font scaling option, I don't know :/

yep that worked for me thx!!!
