Windows in FH7

My boxes in FH7 seem to keep moving about. The main box on the left stays but the next 2 seem to want to move from the positions I want them to be in; they even move while I'm entering data?
As a secondary point, the screen zoom in Windows is difficult currently as I have a game that demands 100% Scale and layout but I prefer 150% and I guess this affects the FH7 program?

To increase the text size in FH v7 use the Tools > Preferences > Display > Screen Font Scaling setting.
You can also increase the Toolbar Size on the page.

Thank you Mike that solves the size of the text. How can I fix the boxes to stay in 1 position?

Exactly what 'boxes' are you talking about John? A screenshot would help us understand what you are seeing.
I suspect you are really talking about 'windows', so tell us what they say on the top left border.
Do they all have an X top right to Close the 'window'?
Usually, FH is quite good at remembering the size and position of 'windows'.

The 'boxes' are the focus window showing the person/family and to the right of it is the facts window. The facts window is the one that seems to move when I add data into it?

I had trouble with my windows, when programs would re-position themselves to top left of screen.
It turned out to be my graphics driver that was the problem. I updated the driver and problem disappeared. May be worth a check

John, there is usually enough room to dock the Property Box (Facts) with the Focus Window so they form just one window.
i.e. Click the Dock Property Box button near the top right corner of the Property Box.
If that does not help then try the advice from Gowermick.
