32-bit programs installed and launched in Windows 7 64-bit have LOWER
resolution than the same program installed and launched in Virtual XP Mode.

In the attached example, The left Chrome was opened in 64-bit, the right
in XP Mode. The resolution on the right is visibly greater.

?????
Thanks

Uhhhh well hello, you have the DPI settings way hella up. And as it is Google Chrome is a DPI failed application. (Meaning it does not understand DPI.)

How do I Fix it?

My DPI (1920 x 1200) works for:
a) All 64-bit programs (IE8 for example)
b) All 32-bit programs installed in Virtual XP Mode (Chrome for example)

My DPI (1920 x 1200) Does not work for:
32-bit programs installed directly in 64-bit mode (This may not be
(the correct technical usage) (Chrome for example)
[That was the point of the attachment]

I understand your link to mean that I need to change something(?)
in the registry to make 32-bit/64bit programs "point" to the correct
DPI.

But I'm confused as to what I should change. (Plus, I may have completely
misunderstood your reply.)

Thanks,
John
