Title: is power logger screen display still only one size?
Post by: tb3 on August 24 2014, 10:54:22 AM: I want my power logger screen display on my new laptop to be a little bigger to match my screen size.
Is there a way to do this?
thanks

try changing the screen size , otherwise drop turbobob a message , he had altered a version for smaller netbooks so the screen fit as it was too large

Post by: tb3 on August 26 2014, 12:08:38 AM: I tried the screen resolution thing on my new hp laptop and that didn't work.
in the meantime, I have other issues. does anybody have a link to the latest drivers that will work for windows 8.1? I have just done the advanced startup thing that disables the "driver signature enforcement".

I was not able to connect to my gn the other day with my new laptop as it kept giving me a com port error. I have been able figure it out with older operating systems, but windows 8.1 is new to me.
thanks to all of you for replys :cheers:

Try another com port. Mine pulls the same stunt...as well as a couple of other guys that have PL up here.
