Guest Rob Roy Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Blurred WLM With High DPI Re: Blurred WLM With High DPI Thanks DSH - after reading your note, I searched a bit more and discovered that if you set a custom DPI AND check the box to "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling", it seems to clear up the issue.
