Optascope for old-style Parallax USB Oscilloscope

Hi I am considering getting an inexpensive used Parallax USB Oscilloscope:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parallax-USB-Oscilloscope-/322244662350?hash=item4b0747544e:g:Aj4AAOSwOdpXxH3j

and I downloaded the Optascope software to see how it works. I installed it on my Win10 pro 64bit PC in WindowsXP compatibility mode and it appears to install fine and operate correctly, except the program window size cannot be resized or expanded to full-screen by any option I can test. When the scope is operating can the window size be changed or is this a constant setting?

Thanks

    I don't think the window can be resized.
    I have a problem using my Parallax USB Oscilloscope with my netbook because some of the button aren't visible on the netbook's small screen.

    It has been awhile since I've used my o'scope but I don't think you can resize the window.

    I think there are likely alternatives to the Optascope though I'm not sure which options work well.

    Yeah I don't think you can resize the window for those.
