Inspiron E1705 screen font problem--changes size
Hi Dell owners. I have a new Dell E1705 w/ the ultrasharp screen resolution....great computer, I use it for audio and video editing as well as watching DVDs...excellent on all fronts. But I have an odd issue. I tried searching for it but can't find anything--so here goes. The font size changes inexplicably, seemingly when I close the screen. It will go from the normal size (small, as you folks know) to rather huge. Fonts, icons, everything suddenly gets far bigger. Any ideas and fixes? many thanks, Scott

- If you have Vista, I had the same problem as you did. It was really annoying. My E1705 has the NVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics card, and I solved the issue by updating to a beta driver that can be found here: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13185 You will have to download the driver package first, open the self-extracting file, then download the "Modified INF" and use it to replace the file of the same name in the folder containing the newly extracted files. Then just open setup.exe in that folder. Please read the instructions at laptopvideo2go to be sure you understand what you're doing.
