Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I have a 4k screen and v8.2.  Has Oracle fixed the bugs for high resolution screens in later versions? I can't find anyone mentioning there are problems...  It's pretty serious - you can't just increase the font size as the icons all mash up as well.

I realize this thread is almost a couple of years old but I'm wordering if you have any more experience with trying to run P6 with a 4k monitor.  My laptop is dying (6 years old) and I'm thinking about upgrading to a machine with a 4k monitor but I don't want to waste my time if it can't drive it properly.  FYI I regularly run P6 on a 2560 x 1600 30" monitor and it works great.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

Having tried to buy the newest version of Primavera (15.1 - not sure if it's released yet) they have sort of confirmed that even 15.1 does not work with resolutions over 1900x<whatever>

So if you've got a 3800 screen or higher, you'll need to reduce the screen resolution entirely to have it useable.

Funnily enough, Asta Power Project does 'sort of' work with high resolution screens - though the menu bars are a bit mucked up - not as bad as Primavera.

I've told them to give me a call when they patch the problem.
