This is my thread in the GPS Forums Now I think this may not a problem with software or at least The maping software. Anybody see this before?

I have loaded Mapopolis viewer on my Axim twice. Both times the main map is ok what I find are the sub screens like tools>Gps or Tools>ClearRoute ALL the buttons on the right side of the screen are over the edge and I can only see about half of the button. On the screen for GPS the start button is off the screen the longitude is off the screen the altitu< this is where the screen ends and I can no longer read the button. Any Ideas?? I just found another screen not even in Mapopolis, Terminal services client screen is off the right side. HELP

Try realigning your screen and doing a soft reset.

I doubt that realigning the screen will fix this as the realigning is really for the digitizer. A soft reset may do it, but sometimes this happens because of programming bugs.

The bug is most likely not in Mapopolis, however, it's in something else that has manipulated the graphics--a slide shower, picture viewer, overclocker, screen rotation, etc, etc. I have seen posts here about screens shifting to the right, but I didn't get any hits on search. Maybe someone can help out here.

Well I waited for an answer to my problem but I guess no one had seen this problem. So I bit the bullet and started my Quest. I removed one program at a time to see if this problem was software. Display still off to the right of the screen(running off the screen) Then I did a hard reset installed one program at a time and cheked to see if the screen was ok, and everything is working fine. I think the addition of the rom updates (A03) may have been the problem. So my display is ok (no run off to the right) The GPS and map program works great, and all my other programs work fine. All that was needed was a hard reset and that was not as bad as I had thought it would be. Very good learning process.
