Problem with Avi-MuxGUI in Windows7

[netmask]

I can run Avi-MuxGUI in compatibility mode XP SP2 on Windows7 however when you open the settings window it is not resizable and only the left hand side of the window is visible. Any workarounds?

Did you try the "Disabled visual themes" option?

Yes LoRd_MuldeR I did try that option and indeed every other option available. It's a pity the program doesn't appear to be currently supported. I guess I will have to install that spare hdd in my computer and set up a XP SP3 install. :)

VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) is your friend :)

AvimuxGUI has some well known problems with Vista and above, and the developer has specifically disclaimed any intention to fix them. Try 1.17.7, which is what MeGUI uses after rolling back to a working version.

Yep I tried 1.17.7 as well and have the same problem with the settings window - can't resize it and only displays half width compared to a XP box so you can't get to the settings.

OK I fixed it for version 1.17.1 Edit: and 1.17.8 the latest version
I edited the file gui.amg.xml to the values shown

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE GUI SYSTEM "avimuxguiconfig.dtd">

All that was needed was to increase the size of the settings window parameters. I'm using a true HD 16:9 BenQ monitor

Edit: Copied the edited file gui.amg.xml into the latest version and it now runs on Windows7 so it may also work for Vista
