Hi!

It is possible, that the programmer of the application in question has decided
to use the CS_BYTEALIGN or CS_BYTEALIGNCLIENT -flags with its main window.

These flags are provided for the software developers to force the window or
its client area into being aligned at certain even-byte boundaries for more
or less better performance during window repaints with some display adapters.

There's not much one can do without having made the program oneself, in which
case the cure is not to use the alignment flags.

Terveisin: Risto Lankinen
