Not a Bot-Caused Issue -- WoW loading fails to set window size properly

Okay, so on the new laptop I've been having this issue and haven't found any solutions to it.

As title states this isn't caused by the bot, and is therefore not in the Support Issues forum.


Basically WoW isn't sized correctly when I start it on here.

Comp Info:
Windows 7, 64 bit, 8g RAM, i7 2.0 (8-Core)
Has 2 Graphics cards
Onboard: Mobile Intel (HD) Graphics
External: Radeon HD 6770M
Has "Configurable Switchable Graphics" so I can set my Movies to run on the onboard card, and WoW to run on the External Radeon.

The problem:
When I open the window it adds extra pixels, which are just white-spaced since WoW isn't actually using them.
So if I had it set to 800x600 it would make a window of something like 850x625 (extra 50x25 is just white)
I can resize it manually and get rid of the space, or play in full screen which I'd rather not.
Also, I had Arelog set up to resize and move the windows when it started them, and it did neither. (Not sure if that is an Arelog problem, or has to do with what is causing this issue.)


This occurs on in-game options of: 800x600, 1152x864, 1360x786(Wide), 1366x768(Wide), and 1600x900 (wide)

On 1024x768 it has no extra space. The window is sized correctly.
Also doesn't have white space when in Windowed (Maximized) or in Full Screen modes.


Any thoughts?

Since we have some new members, and Tony is on, I thought I'd pop this up in recent posts. See if anyone could help me out :)
