Hello,

I would love to know a way to reduce Win7's text and other items on my screen by choosing a percentage lower then it's default of 100% (IE: 96 dpi). I became perplexed when I found out that Win7 wouldn't allow me to go below 100% (Appearance and Personalization > Display). Can anyone help me figure out a way to reduce the font size from 100% to 96%?

Edit:
Hmm, I checked the registry and it actually reads 96 dpi:
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts

Could this be what you are looking for? Click on VIEW and ZOOM. You can make it as big or microscopic as you desire.

I tried that but it starts at 100%. Although I tried to edit it to 50% it doesn't do anything. Thanks anyway though. So far, changing the font has helped out a lot for me. Characters aren't as hard to read (blurry) as before. I didn't notice this until I actually changed the font.

Are you sure? When I click on VIEW and ZOOM, there are ranges from 400% down to 50% and also a Custom that can make it anything you want. It does work. I made it so small I could not read a thing.
