I have a mediaportal client install on the above mentioned system. The native resolution of my TV = 1920x1080. The windows fontsize is too small to read from more than a meter away, so i changed the DPI setting to 150%. (Desktop rightclick, properties, tab settings, advanced, DPI) After a reboot everything is readable from over 2 meters away. (This is offcourse what i want: XP in native resolution, and a readable desktop) Now i install Mediaportal and configure it. When i start it up for the first time, i noticed the font wont fit in the intended boxes anymore. (Too big). The only thing i can do is reset the Windows DPI setting to 100% and empty the Cache folder. After a reboot the fontsize of mediaportal is ok. But i have to sit no further away than 50cm to use windows... That can't be right.. The same behaviour is also occuring with Vista an Windows 7. Has anybody got a solution for my problem?? Kind regards, RR69 P.s,. I have found a workaround: clear cache, and start Mediaportal when the DPI setting is 100%, afterwards change the DPI setting to 150% and DON'T clear the cache.!!!!
