OK FM, can you see if this works for you, you may be happy with it, t works for me but I am not happy about the consequences.
Had a reply from Cake advising to look at this page.

"If the sizing options are set to anything above “Smaller” or 100%, they will cause these abnormal graphical behaviors in Cakewalk software" At standard I get problems, at smaller it works, but leaves everything tiny. It then recommends reducing the monitor resolution.But I bought a full HD Laptop Screen on Cakewalks recommendation.
