Answer 1

I've had the same problem. I tried all registry keys I could find, disabled TMM, but to no avail.

Running Selenium with a user logged in seems the only way Windows 7 will give you another resolution than 1024x768. So I ended up setting my Selenium virtual machine like that: have a user log in automatically on startup and launch the Selenium node after that.

In you selenium test, you can call driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));

Even if you screen resoltuion is 1024/768 you browser will have the correct window size and you buttons will display just fine.

You can also run your window task with user "SYSTEM". So you don't need to worry about opening the user session.
