This can be caused by the DPI (dots per inch) for your monitor being set too
high or a corrupted ACT! Preferences file. You can restore your calendar view by
changing the DPI setting for your monitor and/or deleting and rebuilding the Preferences file.
DPI Settings
This issue may
be the result of the default Windows font size DPI (dots per inch) being set to
Large size (120 DPI) in Windows Vista, Windows 7, XP, and Server 2003, or Large Fonts in Windows
2000. To work around this issue, you must reduce your default Windows font size
DPI setting. Follow the steps for your Operating System below.

Rebuild ACT! Preferences
If adjusting the DPI setting for your monitor does not resolve the issue, then
