We recently switched Driver Station computers due to the fact that our old classmate kept causing SmartDashboard to crash. We are now using a plastic MacBook running Windows 7 through BootCamp.

The SmartDashboard launches fine, but the window size is too small on launch (1024x400 to be exact). We are able to change the window size just fine through File > Preferences but, when we reopen the dashboard, the window size resets to 1024x400. We know that the layout was saved because we added a second camera feed when we set up the new Driver Station, and it was still showing when we relaunched.

How can we fix this? Thanks in advance!
There's currently no fix for that when you are running in "competition" mode (which means you don't see the frame around the window).

One option is to not run it in competition mode. To do that, go to Program Files\FRCDashboard\launcher.bat and remove the word competition (or "-competition", I don't remember if there is a hyphen).
