I'm using this PC for my home theatre,` and getting a non eyestraining desktop on this relatively old hd tv 1080i has been a challenge.
My main goal has been a working desktop and I am almost there. Using Powerstrip I have been able to get a resolution of 960 X 540 P at 60 HZ, which is nearly perfect for me. The problem is that the Windows DPI Scaling option seems to now be disabled. I have it set at 150% or 144 DPI but when I restart it doesn’t change. It stays at 100%. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Powerstrip and the ATI drivers as well as CCC with no success. I have searched the internet as well as your forums. I read a post that Powerstrip long ago disabled the DPI Scaling of the program but have a workaround to reenable it. I tried it, and it didn’t work. I can click on the screen fonts tab and just like in the personalize folder adjust screen fonts, it seems to work but after the reboot, there is no change, I am stuck at 96 dpi.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Catalyst Control Center and all associated files from the registry as well as powerstrip multiple times. I also tried different desktop configurations. I like Aero but tried Vista Basic, and the Windows Standard and Basic themes.
Again no luck! I went through Entech Taiwan tech support and tried their suggestions. They now tell me it is a Windows problem, so here I am.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
