I think you'll find that you may be able correct it in the display
properties, in one of at least two different ways. These instructions
are for XP, but Vista and 7 have similar settings.
First, right click on an open spot on your desktop and click on
"Properties" in the menu that appears. Then ...
Method 1:
Click the "Settings" tab on the "Display Properties" dialog box. A
dialog box will appear. On the "General" tab you'll find a drop down
for the "DPI setting". Change it to a smaller numerical value.
Method 2:
Click the "Appearance" tab on the "Display Properties" dialog box.
Click the "Advanced" button on that tab. And "Advanced Appearance"
dialog box appears. In the "Item" drop down, choose "Message Box".
Select a smaller "Size", or a font that is shorter than whatever is
currently selected (probably Tahoma on XP).
This may reduce the rendered size of the fonts and they might then fit
into the allocated space in the dialog box.
The problem is the way dialog boxes work in the Windows API. The
developer specifies the size in relative terms, and the relationship
between that specification and the fonts and settings on the customer's
system is not fixed. In your case, the font and settings on your system
render the text too large to fit into the space the developer allocated
on the dialog box. This seems to happen most often on "very high
resolution" monitors (more than 1280 x 1024).
