Thanks, Phil. I hate to give up, because I know this isn't the only brand
laptop having this problem.
Brief reply, because we are seriously off-topic here :
1) Don't give up with Win/7. I HATED it when I first tried it on
others' machines, and found myself saying over and over again
"Sorry, can't help you : no idea where they have hidden that
in Win/7". BUT, once I got it for myself, disabled Aero,
made it look as much like XP as possible, and finally came
to grips with the crazy Explorer that has ditched an "Up"
button, I began to see that it was not as bad as I thought.
With XP having a shelf-life of about eighteen months now,
I am no longer terrified at the idea of having to upgrade
all my machines to Win/7, and I really /do/ like the idea
of running multiple VMs so that a virus in one cannot
affect the others (i.e., keep one VM for secure transactions,
one for general surfing, one for risky stuff), and use
the base Win/7 64-bit platform only for non-networking
activities.
2) Don't give up with your new Gateway : we're all rooting for you !
** Phil.
LOL! Thanks, Phil. After reading my third Gateway forum, I found where
you can "customize" your DPI settings above the one... 125% option shown
in the basic settings.
I can now read headings, toolbars, and icons... but I'm back to my same
old problem with the new SM 2.7 fonts in composing mail and viewing some
web sites. I'll keep working on it though. Thanks for the good wishes. :)
