Yes, I just grabbed the side, top, and/or corner and resized them like any Windoze app. Resolution might affect how much of the screen it takes up (I'm at 1280x1024), bus shouldn't change your ability to resize.

The "Update Account Balances" should be at the bottom left, regardless of resizing the window - only the internal program-specifiw rows compress and scroll.

Wait a second - you are on the "Check my accounts" tab, correct? In the "Review summary" and "Updates users and accounts" tabs there is no update function.
