Double check to make sure that it is still set at the default of 96 DPI. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/84...i-scaling.html Hope this helps, Shawn -- Brink '*MS MVP - Windows Desktop Experience*' (https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...5-AD617AF3D511) *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*::Windows 7 Forums::*' (http://www.sevenforums.com/) *and* '*::Vista Forums::*' (http://www.vistax64.com/) *Please post feedback to help others.* |

You might see if doing a '*_System_Restore_*' (http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76...store-how.html) using a restore point dated before this happened may be able to fix this for you automatically. -- Brink '*MS MVP - Windows Desktop Experience*' (https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...5-AD617AF3D511) *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*::Windows 7 Forums::*' (http://www.sevenforums.com/) *and* '*::Vista Forums::*' (http://www.vistax64.com/) *Please post feedback to help others.* |
