perhaps you missed these forum posts regarding window size,

Maybe they’ll be of help.
It appears as though if one owns Superior Drummer only, they can’t access the support forum for EZ Drummer.
I just made a post in the Feature Request forum with a potential solution depending on how you use Superior Drummer.

I’ll try to quote the meat-and-potatoes of their suggestions.

I don’t know if this has been covered elsewhere but I thought it may help a user or two here.
As we all know, higher and higher resolution displays on our laptops are becoming more and more common. Even full HD now seems quaint. My Dell XPS 15 has a resolution of 3200 x 1800 and that’s not unusual anymore. The result is that some software can open in impossibly small windows – rendering it useless. In my experience all Toontrack software falls into this category.
Fear not! There is a fairly simple solution.
The lowly manifest file.
Below is the text of an example manifest file. In fact, it’s the manifest file for my laptop – fixing EZdrummer 2.
EZdrummer64false
Note the line toward the beginning that says:
“name=”EZdrummer64.exe””
That must contain the exact name of the executable file. A few lines below it is another place we need to enter the application name.
To use this file. Open a new, blank text file. Copy and paste the above into the text file and save it to the directory where the offending application lives.
In my case, that directory is:
C:Program FilesToontrackEZdrummer
The file must be named as follows:
Exact original executable name + .manifest.
eg.
EZdrummer64.exe.manifest
As mentioned before, it must reside in the same directory as that exe.
After the file exists and is in the correct location, all you have to do is launch the application normally and windows will take care of the rest.
There is ZERO danger in using this. It only gives windows a few instructions that tell it how to render. NO permanent changes are made to anything. If you don’t like the results, simply delete the manifest file and all will return to original state.
Hope this helps,
Greg

– Try rightclick the EZdrummer icon and choose properties, then compatibility tab.
– Uncheck “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”.
gseshleman, could you please include the manifest file contents? It appears to be missing from your quote.
Sorry. That is the entirety of the original post by ‘geebake’.
As a Mac user, I have no experience with the manifest file or its contents.
I’m simply passing along some solutions offered by others that I found simply by searching the forum.

Ah, that’s unfortunate. I appreciate the gesture though. Thanks for passing along the info!
a post on this forum yesterday by ‘kkuehl’ linked to a blogpost detailing the manifest file solution for Windows users;
