You might want to look at some of your computer settings... if the program works on your husband's properly.

Its a matter of screen size, fonts and video cards. Some of these things are incorrect on your laptop, maybe you can correct them or reset them to the same as the full size computer. Jim

Thanks all - I have tried to tweak, but no success as yet. Its a relatively minor irritation - I still get the gist of the data - I''d prefer 'all correct' but suspect it is what it is. Good thing is my machine is working to keep apneoas under control, I feel good about my sleep so far, and all is right with the world Thanks for replying!!

In Sleepyhead, take at look in File > Preferences > Appearance and post a screenshot.

What computer and OS is your laptop?

Try View > Reset Graph Layout?

Try an external monitor hooked to your laptop?

Uninstall/reinstall (using a fresh D/L of) Sleepyhead, including the update?

Ask Mark?

That happened to me with an earlier version of SH. Installing the latest (at that time) version fixed it.

The update checker in the old version didn't work either. It kept saying I had the latest version and I didn't. That was also fixed in the latest version.

It looks like you might have turned up the text size using the global Windows setting. You can get there via a right click on your windows desktop wallpaper, then "Screen Resolution", then the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" link...You may have set the text larger there, which could have this effect. People often turn this up, to say 125%, and then when they have scaling problems, don't remember where to look to fix them. That's happened to me at least once, so I remember now *smile*.
