Vista - Display issues!!

rday78 · 03-21-2009

Hey guys and gals... first post so hello...looks like there is a ton of info here which im sure I can use seeing as im new to vista. I am trying to get my vizio 42" to display correctly so I bumped up the dpi to like 180% to get the fonts big enough to see good. However, some pages on the internet still display very small such as the "submit new thread" button. Is there anyway to fix this problem??? Thanks

Hello Rick, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might reduce the DPI size back to the default 96 DPI and try different screen resolution sizes until you find one that looks best to you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

hanks for the reply... I feel like there has t be an answer to this other than sacrificing to resolution which was a big reason for buyingthis new computer in the first place... Ive been experimenting with the font size, resolution and other options in IE. Hopefully I run into somethin.. thanks again

Rick,

If you just wanted the fonts bigger in IE, then you might see if adjusting the Zoom Level in IE may help at the bottom right corner in the IE window, or click on View, Text Size, and select a size.

True true... However some of the pages display good and others dont. Sometimes parts of the web pages respond to the dpi change... Figured there would be a program out there that could regulate these kinda problems. Thanks again and if anyone hears of anything... let us know
