Just updated to Windows 10.  When I opened up Captivate vs 9, it whole appearance is different.  The start screen is very large, and missing navigation buttons, including the browse button.  Also, on the Filmstrip & Master Guide the scroll bars are missing also.  On the right side of Captivate the Tabs: under Properties, the Option tab ins cut in half.

    Did you find a workaround?  I'm on a Surface Pro 3 / Captivate 9 (v9.0.2.421) and have miniature menu fonts as well.  Changing the resolution in Win 10 display settings minimizes everything else, therefore is not a permanent option.

      I am on Surface Pro 4, font size set to 200%. Captivate works fine with the

      exception of some tiny cursors.

      The problem has been solved - Had to fix the Adobe Captivate 9 (64Bit) Properties - Compatibility tab, (run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 7

      Really? That sounds not correct, sorry. Captivate 9 is the first version that plays well with Windows 10. I am using it with that version on both my laptop and Surface Pro. Those have a retina screen. If you go back to compatibility mode you'll lose the feature that it can run on retina screens. Did you check the resolution, and more specifically the % for font size?  That is mostly the cause of what you showed in your screenshots, because Win10 tends to make that % high like 175%. Put it back to a normal 125%.

      Agreed, it's almost surely a Windows 10 setup issue. It likes to assume 'big' in case you're on a tablet, or something. Check your display resolution...

      Which resolution do you use on the monitor? What is the percentage set for fonts: 125, 150, 175?
