Relink Bitmaps
Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.
Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free! There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag. It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script. If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.
Features:
[*] All 3dsmax supported Bitmap Texture types
[*] (new) Relinks Mental Ray Proxy files
[*] (new) Relinks VRay Proxies (.vrmesh)
[*] (new) Relinks VRayHDRI files
[*] (new) Relinks IES files (including VRayIES files)
[*] (new) Automatically checks for script updates and new versions
[*] 250% speed increase from previous versions
[*] Command-line mode available for automating repetative tasks (see documentation on the website)
[*] Configurable default user options saving button clicks and wasted time

works great to batch fix textures over many Max files. I used it this
morning to quickly repath a couple hundred AXYZ assets to a new texture
path. In my case I used Relink Bitmaps in conjunction with another
great script - "Batch It Max" by Paul Neale.

I'm on vista as well using the default appearance theme, with no viewing problems. Perhaps you could try lowering the font size or title bar size as a temporary fix, till I can release an update later this week?
Didn't help unfortunately.
Didn't help unfortunately. Still same problem. I could change Title Bar's font but lower border of your script is still cut-like. I'm running vista ultimate x64 with 3ds max 2009 x64.
If you needed to relink
If you needed to relink immediately or are unable to resize the "Active Title Bar", you can easily use the Command Line mode to do this, check to documentation on my website at
www.colinsenner.com/scripts/relink-bitmaps, and can relink just by using the listener window.
Ah, I see your problem.
Ah, I see your problem. Your problem appears to be your Windows Appearance Settings have the Title Bar bigger than the script was anticipating.
To fix right-click on your desktop, goto "Properties", click the "Appearance Tab" at the top, click "Advanced...." on the lower right. Change the item to "Active Title Bar" and reduce its size. Let me know if this doesn't work.
