Scrolling AView

[Charles Greene-2]

Hi,

This is a bit off topic, but there must be some computer whizzes out
there.  I have ARRL AView to read QST, QEX etc. and when  I look at a
full page, the print is so small and distorted I can't read it.  When
you look at a half page you just can see the top half of the page and
you can't scroll down.  I tried screen resolution of 1024 X 760 and
800 X 600 but no change.  I had another program that I could only see
the top half too, and their tech support told me how to use Internet
Explorer to start the program to use IE to scroll up and down.  That
was on Win98.  I tried that on WinXP and it doesn't work or else I'm
not setting it up correctly; probably the latter.  Can any one
help?  I called ARRL, but probably didn't get the right person as
they didn't know anything about it.

Tnx for you time,

73,  Chas, W1CG

Chas,

The QST View images are .TIF files, so whatever program you have on your
computer that is associated with TIF files is the one that will be used.

You can change the associatiation from Windows Explorer - click Tools,
select Folder Options, and in the box that opens, select the File Types tab.
This will show the list of file associations - scroll down to TIF and select
it, and if you want to change the association, look at the bottom of the box
"Details for 'TIF' extension"  If you want to set it to IE, click the change
button and use the resulting resulting dialog box to select whichever
program you want to use.

73,
Don W3FPR

Hi Chas,
    That AView program has bugged me for some time and I had hoped you
would have got some good replies to your question. It is a rather crude
program but we have to remember it is probably at least 10 years old. I
am using Windows XP and I find AView screws up the colours on other open
windows. I think the program was dragged "kicking and screaming" from
the DOS world into the wonders of Windows. You can get all the
information but it is certainly not user friendly. Its search engine is
a real pain.
    When you have the top half in view you have to drag the page (hold
down left mouse button) to position the lower half into the window for
reading.
    I hope one of the programming experts on this list comes to our rescue.

       73,
