    Hi, Please try to increase your resolutions by manually dragging the corner of the window screen outwards (in windowed mode). The larger window size will show the missing buttons and you should be able to delete your characters.

    Try going into Windowed mode, and shrink the screen until you can see the Delete button.

    Did you drag the window size diagonally down? The other buttons should appear then...

    Let me know what you tried, and if you have any screenshots please post them to help us see what you are experiencing.

    Cheers!

    1024x600 is too small resolution :(
    I think there is no easy way to see that Delete button.

    If u have larger monitor (or even LCD TV or Plasma TV), u can connect it to your netbook (i assume u have netbook, since resolution is 1024x600), extend your desktop to that new monitor, open PWI, drag it to new screen, increase resolution and delete characters. It's should be easy b:laugh

    Whoa... Tiny resolution and oversized text and icons. b:shocked

    I believe that pointing towards the old skin for compatibility and functionality purposes would be best here, but I'll leave that to the staff this time. b:cute

    Did you put the game into window mode, and then manually stretch it out, or did you just hit the maximize button on the top right of the window?

    Cheers!

    This isn't going anywhere... Take a look at the following signature:

    Try changing it to 800x600 and in windowed mode. Do not have it maximized. Any smaller resolution, and you'll never see the full UI to be able to see anything even if you move the window around (because it clips off part of the menus and UI).

    Click and hold the top part of the game window and move it around to see if you can get down to where it is.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    Hi, the same happened to me and since no one knew how to help me I had to investigate myself b:chuckle . What you need to do is this: (make sure you have PWI turned off while doing this).
    1. On your computer, open a folder called "Perfect World Entertainment" (mine's in Local disk C) and click on a folder called "Perfect World International".
    2. Open a folder called "element".
    3. Find another folder called "userdata" and open it.
    4. Open Configuration Settings called "systemsettings" a Notepad should come up with lots of names and numbers next to them.
    5. Go all the way down and find "ScaleUI" (yours should look like this: ScaleUI = 0), change the 0 to 1.
    6. Save it, open PWI and there you go!:) The font, images, etc might be a bit smaller but you will be able to see the missing buttons such as "Create, Modify, Delete and Restore"
    b:victoryb hope that helped. I know it sounds confusing, but it actually works and it's easy b:pleased
