Perpetual MT4 Problem

Hi all,
I'm having an irksome time with MT4 at the moment, and wondered if anybody could advise me of a 'fix'?
I have posted below a 1 hour chart for the swissy.
You will note that, on the right hand vertical axis of the chart, the thick blue border line runs almost the full length. This gives the range within vertical movement of the chart as a whole is possible.

Now, as I wish to manipulate the chart freely, I then go into 'Properties' and amend the fixed maximum and minimums.
Briefly, I can then move my chart vertically, but the fixed minimum and maximum quickly reverts back to it's previous setting, and once again I cannot move my chart vertically.
A little problem, but fast becoming a real pain in the proverbial.
Please help!

From what i can understand from above, you have fixed (and congested the caliberations) the vertical price scale.

Just Double Click on the right hand price scale (on right side of that Blue line)
it will be normal!

Hi
I've just tried that, but unfortunately no joy!
It's as though MT4 has memorised the vertical range somehow, and resets itself back to the same range no matter what I do.
Frustrating.

You can download a new MT4 from your broker and start over??

correction: Right click -> 'Properties' in the context menu -> 'Common' tab -> remove tick from 'Scale fix' checkbox

Thanks for all the help.
I've managed to sort it, at last.
By scrolling back a few months, until no bars are visible on the screen, I can then amend the fixed min/max, and scroll forward again.
When I get back to the current date, the min/max have then been set at much further intervals, which MT4 then(at last) seems to accept.
Weird!
