monitors with the same native resolution.
I'm looking for advice on how to make it usable. I keep trying to
play with the DPI settings, but it's just not doing anything. The
default is 96. If I go to 120 it acts like it accepted it, but after
reboot it looks the same. I can pick a custom DPI of 200%, which
kind of works, but then it's a bit big. And even at that, web pages
and icons are miniscule. If we pick 150% in the lower right in IE,
fonts and images grow differently, ruining the look of web pages.
Please help.
This thing is about 3 years old, and somehow we got it acceptable when
it was new, but I updated the video drivers (don't ask why) and it
reset to tiny again.
Right click Desktop > properties > settings tab, ajust ruler from less
It's "aDjust".
<----> More to 1024/768.
Leave default is 96 dpi, it's OK
