[EM3] Can't get EMIII to look right on new PC...

Click for full size
So, this is my new lappy... and everything seems to work ok except EMIII! You can see from the pic that something is not displaying correctly. Is this something I can fix? Anyone seen this before?

Well, hopefully Larry will have more suggestions.

Right click the windows background screen and select properties. Select "settings", then the Advanced button.
Make sure the DPI setting is 96...

XP can be modified two ways... font size and DPI...

Ah, Larry to the rescue!

This condition seems to affect laptops more then desktops.
I think I will add this to the FAQ's just in case anyone else has this trouble.

I think the feature has been there for a couple of OS's, but most mods are made using the Fonts... I think XP was the first to start using some special stuff to try and make the laptop screens look better. Pretty much all started with the LCD screens. They look best at whatever their native resolution is and everything else looks just a little "fuzzy" to me.

Glad that fixed the issue.
