PP Problem

I went to install my Pocket Programmer on a laptop, and everything went fine, but, I can't scroll down far enough to select the 29C256 EEPROM. Tried min/max screen, and tried to drag it, but nota.
Any ideas?.
TIA

The screen display must be at least 800x600. 640x480 won't work.

Now, if you the computer is an old type that does not support 800x600 displays (like one of my old ones). There is a way to "work around".

You have probably discovered there are NO keystrokes when you go into the menu and "scroll bar" is off the window so you can't use that either.

I found that if you get a "wheel mouse" and go inside the box, you can use the wheel to scroll down.

I have an oldie also with just 640X480 and I got it to work by pressing on the "large buttons". It works this way but you lose some of the letters in the boxes but you can figure out the rest of the letters.
