Installer Window Too Small?
I downloaded the Xbian Windows installer, but when it is launched the window is too small to complete the process:

The window cannot be resized and there is no scroll-bar to continue on to step 3. Am I missing something or is this a problem with the installer? I am using windows 8 and I've tried launching the installer in Windows 7-XP compatibility modes to no avail.

Thanks for picking up on this quickly, I tried all sorts of compatibility mode options to try get the window resizable before just downloading the image, only to find the win32diskimager utility is no longer included in the .7zip. Still had a copy of course, and it's in the alpha3 zip for anyone that needs it. I also see the manual install guide is only for mac and linux now.

tl;dr, manual install from within windows no longer supported?

It is, just download the image from our download page -> manual. Then use win32diskimager to restore it

That's what I did, just mentioning that the app isn't included in the zip anymore, might throw newer users off having no guide and no app unless they already got the older image.

Go to Control Panel, Appearance and Personalisation, Display then change the size of all items from medium or larger to smaller (100%). Restart the installer and you should see the entire window.

Many a time, useless files, spyware and junk files find their way into your system even without you being aware of it. Salution is that you need to use Krojam Cleaner for Speed up your pc.
