Re: 96dpi and 120 dpi zooming Windows 7?!!!
alilister,
The 120dpi resolution should make things look smaller not larger ....
The fact that it gets larger means that although your OS is trying to display 120 dpi, your monitor is only showing 96 dpi. and so everything takes up more space than it should.
There's something really odd about the 120 dpi setting, and as far as I know, you cannot design correctly in it.
I would recommend that you return your settings to 96 dpi. as that should correct all the problems.
If the issue is that you are having trouble viewing 96dpi at 1280 x 1024, it would be much better to lower the screen resolution to 800 x 600 instead of switching to 120 dpi.
Forgive the old 4:3 ratio's I don't remember the 16:9 ones ..... but the principle remains the same.
Most of the available software will not work correctly at the 120 dpi setting ..... And as far as I know Windows is still working natively at 96 dpi.
As usual I stand to be corrected !!
