Try this. Click in a blank space in the install window to be sure it is active, then hold down the CTRL key and press the "-" key a few times. See if that makes the options you need visible.

 

Lets get it installed them, see if the resolution rights itself. If not we can keep working with you on that until we do get it right.

What is the winkey? Is that a asemicolon? I keep trying to fix my origin, but it feels to massive to do ANYTHING with. HELP!!!!

Well, strange but good! I opened up the client today and it was sized appropriately (without me having to have changed the winkeys). I'd played around with settings till I gave up and reset them back to what I had them at before. Did EA fix the client-sizing issue? If so, great thank you!

Okay, lets try making Origin ignore scaling and see if that gets it down to a usable size.

 

Locate the file called Origin.exe  or OriginThinSetup.exe if Origin is not installed yet on your hard drive.

Right click on that file and choose properties.

Go to the Compatibility tab at the top.

Click the box for Disable Display Scaling At Hight DPI Settings.

Click Apply

Click OK

Run Origin or Thinsetup again. See if it's okay now.

Still nothing sadly, at least not for me.

Re: New origin window too large

★★★ Newbie

No, that's not something simple like that - it's just too large, even minimizing it to it's smallest size doesn't grant a view of the full window.

Mine is the same. On the top right corner you can only see the minimise button, not the full screen or exit button. It also goes too far down he screen.
