Article Summary

Issue:

AgentAssist launched from Java Web Start (sayit.jnlp) or from an executable (sayit.exe) opens as a tiny, very small window on the screen and I can hardly read it.

It may be necessary to adjust your settings for "High DPI" (dots per inch) scaling.

What to do:

What you need to do is based on whether you launched AgentAssist from Java Web Start (sayit.jnlp) or from an executable file (sayit.exe).

AgentAssist from Java Web Start (sayit.jnlp)

  1. Navigate to the directory with your Java executables.
    (This is something like C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_111\bin or C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_111\bin)

 

  1. Right-click on the Javaws.exe file and select Properties from the menu.
