[Windows] IWD:EE - Cursor Problems

I hope this is the right subforum for this. I am currently running Windows 8.1 on a fairly high-end laptop (I'll post the specs when I get home if necessary). I downloaded and installed IWD:EE via the Beamdog standalone client last night and immediately ran into issues with the cursor.
The game started in fullscreen, and on the IWD/HOW select screen I could move the cursor over the entire screen, but I couldn't interact with much of it. It was as if the game thought the buttons were lower on the screen than they were displaying - I had to click below the IWD icon to select it, and the bottom row of buttons was unusable (as they're on the edge of the screen). I skimmed the forums and found what seemed to be the solution: Alt+Enter to take it into windowed mode, then disable the Hardware Cursor option under Graphics.
However, I now have a different problem. Running the game in fullscreen, I am unable to move the cursor over the bottom or far right portions of the screen. It stops a couple inches away from each edge like I'm running into the edge of the screen. If I change to windowed mode and then maximize the window, the game runs normally as far as I can see, but hovering the cursor at the edge of the screen doesn't auto-scroll the screen in that direction, I have to use the arrow keys to manually scroll the screen.
Any ideas as to what is causing this or what can be done to fix it?

For anyone else reading this and having similar problems, right click the IWD:EE .exe icon, then click Properties. Under the Compatibility tab, check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
