Try adjusting your systems DPI settings.

Right-Click your desktop and choose 'Personalize'.
On the bottom left click 'Display'.

There you should see the DPI settings of the system.

If you are on Windows 7:
- Select 'Smaller 100%' bubble.
- Click on 'Set custom text size (DPI)' on the left side.
- Be sure the normal size to 100% and check 'Use Windows XP style DPI scaling' if you are able to.

If you are on Windows 8:
- Slide the slider to the left to the smallest allowed option.
- Or check the 'Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays' and choose 'Smaller' as well.

I am unfortunately having the same problem. Lowering my DPI is not an option as I use my setting with a developer environment. Other applications seem to behave fine, it's just a few (including Cheat Engine) which unfortunately doesn't show properly.

Hopefully it will be fixed in a near future so we can use it on 4K Screens without having to reopen our Cheat Engine Tables on an older laptop with a lower resolution Wink

Using CE 6.6 - Windows 10 Creatos 1703, 4k display, 250% scaling.
OS detects CE as a dpi aware application, but, still displays incorrectly.
Although somewhat usable, I cannot add a manual pointer.
i.e. I can, but, being unable to resize the window, i can't see past the first pointer textbox

[EDIT]
Scratch that, I found a workaround.
Just change the value type from the default 4 bytes to binary, then back to 4 bytes or whatever, and the window should resize correctly.
