Newer stuff pretty much handles it by default.<br /><br /> When it does break an app you can disable DPI scaling on a per-application basis in the compatibility settings - that's a much more preferable solution compared to the early days of Android where you just got told it no longer supported your device because your new phone had a different resolution screen.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41681.33&return_msg=41681.30" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41681.33"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41681_34"></a><div class="message" id="message_41681_34"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">22 Apr 2016 15:28</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: koswix <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 22 Apr 2016 18:50"></span></span> <span class="message_count">34 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41681.34">41681.34</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41681.28">41681.28</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yeah I hate that multi-color font-smoothing shit.

They thought that was fine and after a bit of email to and froing after nothing happened we got replacement Pro licenses.<br /><br /> We now need another 6 licenses, and they're again offering H&B on their website. I'm in two minds about using them again and may just go to Microsoft directly to get 'em this time. The extra cost is worth not having to bugger about any. <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 26 Apr 2016 10:52 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41681.36&return_msg=41681.30" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41681.36"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41681_37"></a><div class="message" id="message_41681_37"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">26 Apr 2016 11:27</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 26 Apr 2016 12:07"></span></span> <span class="message_count">37 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41681.37">41681.37</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41681.30#a41681_36" target="_self">41681.36</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Just had a wee look at the cable from China and there's 10 pins at one end that aren't actually connected to anything.
