Calibration Problem

Thank you for your New Calibration Process.  I had given up Using Line Reader, because of difficulties with the Calibration.  I decided to give Line Reader another try.  The New Calibration Process -- seemed easy enough and reasonable.

Unfortunately I cannot seem to get the Mouse cursor, and the line reader to align or calibrate properly.  After Calibrate, and Lock --- The mouse cursor and the Line Reader are too FAR apart and offset.  It might just be my error, as I have tended to forget home Line Reader should work, but for now I am thinking I still remember enough.

I am using Line Reader 2.8 on a Windows 10 - 64 bit system.
Calibration Process shows 1920 screen width, and 1080 Screen Height.
The Real Screen Width and Height (seem strange to me)  -- they change from time to time, but right now are at 103 and 103 respectively.  

Windows Setup -- has following Display settings shown.
Under Scale and Layout -- change the size of Text apps -- is 200% ..
Display Resolution is --- 3840 x 2160 (Recommended).
Orientation -- Landscape .

Any Help or Advice?

Yeah, I can't get it to calibrate on my 4K monitor either with 175% zoom.

The line gets fixed into one place at the top left. On close and open again, the line just disappears.

I don't think this has been fixed for a long time.

It seems to me that Line Reader calibration might work if in the Windows Setup -- you have a Display setting - Under Scale and Layout -- change the size of Text apps is 100%.

Any other setting of the size of the Text apps such as 200% -- seems to cause bad problems with the Line Reader alignment.

Here is a possible work around to the calibration problem. 
This approach was suggested by Vic Mahadeshwar.
Try this and see if this works.

Determine your Display Resolution.
Mine was under Settings -- Display Resolution and was 3840 x 2160.
My Scale was set to be 200% -- but for this work around – does not appear to be significant.

Bring up the Screen with the Calibration Process.
Input your “Real Screen Width”.    In my case 3840.
Input your “Real Screen Height”.   In my case 2160.
Then use the button to “Lock calibrated values”

If may be necessary to Calibrate before inputting values.  
I am unsure of exact sequence.
Test and see if the calibration problem is fixed.

Worked for me when I changed my Display, in Win 10, to 125%.  Thanks.
