Hello,

Company I work for uses a program which has a set window size. I have a
Windows Vista user that wants to use larger fonts, so has increased the DPI,
and this causes the custom program to not show the entire content in the
window. With windows XP this works without a problem. Is there a
work-around for this, or would this be something that our programmer will
need to resolve with the program. I don't expect the size of the window to
be adjustable.

I have tried to use various compatibility settings on the exe without any
help, including the DPI compatibility setting. Also tried the DPI setting
for XP in Vista, but nothing.

Any help, thank you.

an explanation if that is possible?

not unusual for old apps.
