Suddenly I’ve got this weird Resize problem. I didn’t have it until a couple
\nof hours ago. I didn’t install anything new and even tried to reboot
\nthe machine since to get rid of the problem.
\nWhat happens is if I now try to resize any window on my machine, I can only
\nincrease\/decrease it in huge quanity of pixels… If I open the notepad it’s a
\n1\/4 screen window, and I can only expand it horizontaly to full width
\nor vertically to full height. And now that I think of it, it seems that earlier in
\nthe day, my sizing was already getting worse, my windows resizing was only
\nable to move in steps of 20 pixels… maybe it’s the Graphic card that has a
\nproblem (heat?). I tried to switch off the machine to cool it down, but that didn’t
\nhelp. I tried installing back a simple graphic driver like VGA instaed of the
\nWestern Digital 90C31 driver, to see if the problem is related to the driver,
\nbut that is not the case. I even tried botting with Windows 95, but there I
\ncannot replicate the problem, everything seems fine. I kind of baffled…
\nAny help is appreciated…

\nAs I had problems send this mail, I try to fix it myslef, and I found the
\nanswer. Because some other people might get it, I put a post here with the
\nMicrosoft knowledge base answer. Just go to the Desktop in the Control Panel
\nand set the granularity to 1, et voila….<\/p>\n

\nThe information in this article applies to:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5

\n———————————————————————-<\/p>\n

SYMPTOMS
\n========<\/p>\n

After you update Windows NT version 3.5 to Service Pack 2, the Granularity
\nvalue for Sizing Grid changes when you choose Desktop in Control Panel, log
\noff and log back on, and choose Desktop in Control Panel again. The
\nGranularity value in Desktop of Control Panel increases in increments of 8.
\nFor example, if Granularity is set to 1, it changes to 8 the next time you
\nchoose Desktop in Control Panel after you log off and log back on (and from
\n8 to 64 even though the maximum value for Granularity is 49).<\/p>\n

CAUSE
\n=====<\/p>\n

This problem only occurs if you choose Desktop in Control Panel after each
\nsuccessive logon.<\/p>\n

STATUS
\n======<\/p>\n

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. A
\nfix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested
\nand may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not
\nrecommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product
\nSupport Services for more information on the availability of this fix.<\/p>\n
