LabView DriverStation & Dashboard w/ Driver Account

[java4first]

A quick (panicked) question ... we got a different laptop to use this year instead of the Classmate (because of larger screen real estate more than anything else), and spent time getting a wonderful (to us ;-) custom dashboard built in LabView that takes up the whole screen, with space for the standard DriverStation to overlay it sitting in the middle at the bottom. So far, so good. It is running Windows 7 as delivered by HP if this makes a difference.

Then, at the practice day at the regionals yesterday, we ran into the problem with having to run as "Driver" (and, thanks to Windows notion of user accounts, just renaming an existing one to be "Driver" of course doesn't work). After getting that fixed, we had the following unfortunate situation occur:

As soon as you run as Driver account, when you launch the DriverStation, it comes up pegged to the lower left corner of the display, and no longer has the window mananger title bar and ability to reposition it.

Worse - the custom Dashboard we built comes up also tied to the lower left corner of the display, although tiled above the DriverStation (it also has no window manager title bar) ... and is clipped in the horizontal and vertical direction at what appears to be the size of a Classmate display.

So, my question is - is there some feature of the two applications that looks at which account is running the code, and when it sees "Driver" it says - oh, you are running on a Classmate and we need to fix / hardcode how it displays.

Assuming this is true, is there someway to fix it (at least for the custom dashboard ... like a registry setting or something in the code that gets generated by the example dashboard project that we started with in order to get all of our additional stuff added to)? Or tell me what we are othewise doing wrong here? Or does one need to write a custom dashboard in something else (like Java and Swing) in order to be able to use / take advantage of the larger screen real estate?

Thanks in advance!
