Doug,

You seem to have gotten cross posted on the DPI thread, but anyway, on
the screen resolution item (no longer sure if it is technically a
control panel sigh), I have a combo that is labeled "Change the size
of apps, text and other items on the screen"

The only two choices I have are default and larger but those two are
different DPI settings. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any
label (at least on this screen) saying what values those settings
correspond to.

Right. On my laptop though, I don't see a direct way to change the DPI
setting, so I figured sometimes you might have to try changing it by
changing desktop resolution. I haven't tried this to know if it works
though.

It's not the high resolution itself that breaks non-DPI aware scripts,
it is setting the display to a DPI setting other than normal (which
is either 92 or 96 dpi, I forget which at the moment).

High-resolution laptops can break scripts that run against old,
non-DPI-aware applications. I'm not sure if changing the screen
resolution would fix this because I haven't tried, but I fully expect
that tactic to succeed. I would not tend to avoid a good laptop
because of the high-DPI issues. I am running one of those things right
now. :-)

Hello,

Can you please tell me if the laptops with very high resolution like ~
1900

x 100 or even ~ 3000 x 2000 dpi can create a problem for JAWS scripts?
Or if we manually set the resolution to something low like 1024 x 768,
then

it doesn't matter the max possible resolution of display?

I am searching for a good laptop and I want to know if I should avoid
something.

Thanks.
