Re: DXKeeper Display Issue

 

Good article, Dave! Tnx for posting it!

My "primary" monitor is the 24" 1920 X 1080. That's where my icons live, and the monitor I use most. The secondary is a 20" 1680 X 1050.

I think I solved the problem. I had started by increasing the scaling in Windows to 110 % (I incorrectly stated 105 % in my original post). 110 % was too high, as it cut off the bottom of DXKeeper. I reduced the scaling 1 % at a time until DXKeeper was completely visible again. That turned out to be 106 %.

That 6 % of increase made all the difference in the world! All the screens are now easily legible, and they only take up a bit more real estate.

Age is 71, and my vision was 20/800 until I had LASIK 20 years ago. Since then, cataracts and floaters have reduced my vision, but this was the solution I was looking for!!

Thanks Again es 73

Dave, KB3MOW:
Take a look at this article I wrote several years ago:

In particular, read the very last paragraph about text may not fit into text
boxes.
The rest of the article describes how to select a monitor, should you decide
to upgrade.

Doesn't look like that's possible on this old HP. The BIOS gives the
option of PCI, PCI Express, or Onboard. No combination appears to exist.
This PC is almost 10 years old, so not as many bells & whistles! Going
to dig a little deeper, and appreciate the input!

The video card is no longer supported and drives both monitors.
Motherboard video is disabled. I'm going to try decreasing the scaling a
percentage point at a time and see if I can zero in on what
(hopefully) works. Might be an easier option to just get glasses!

+ Another alternative you could try: activate the motherboard video, and
use it to drive the secondary monitor.
