Ahem, uninstalled and reinstalled TK6 still won't let me in. There is a box blocking the ability to type in the company name to download

This is due to Toolkit being designed to work with a specific dpi setting in Windows. If the dpi is set higher than what Toolkit was designed for, you'll see some of the graphics getting cut off, or buttons looking out of place. To see Toolkit as it was intended, here's a set of steps to reset your screen settings to the windows default of 96 DPI

In Windows 7

1. Exit the software. 

2. Right-click any open space on the desktop, and choose PERSONALIZE 

3. Near the bottom left-hand corner of the Personalize window, select DISPLAY 

3. On main part of the Display page, click to select Smaller - 100% (default) 

4. Windows will usually ask you to log out or re-start at this point. If it does not, click APPLY 

5. If windows tells you that you need to either log out, or restart please do so; if not, open the software again.

 

If the desktop icons seem a bit small after this change, you can right-click on the desktop, choose View, and then choose a larger size icon.

Adjusting the screen resolution, if the icons are still too small:

-In Windows 7 and Windows 8, Right-click on the desktop, choose SCREEN RESOLUTION.

Regardless of your copy of Windows, you will now have a window showing your current screen resolution. 
- In Windows 7 and Windows 8, you will see a drop-down menu.

Using the small slider bar, or drop-down menu, you can REDUCE the resolution to something smaller. (ie. 1280x1024 to 1024x768 or 800x600). Then click APPLY or OK. Changing this to a lower setting will have the effect of enlarging the text and icons you see on the screen. Since everyone is different, we suggest a bit of experimentation to find the resolution that fits you best. This will ensure that you can see everything on the screen, without having to worry about running into trouble the next time there's a Toolkit update.
