    Resolved [RESOLVED] [VB6] Font and positioning problems on Win 7

    Hi!

    First of all, I'll start saying: my vb6 aplications run almost perfectly on Win7.

    But... Out of 40 PC running my software, 20 of them are running perfectly in Win XP, 17 of them are running perfectly in Win7, and 3 of them are running on Win7 but with some graphical problems, for instance:

    * Labels seem to be slightly smaller, or fonts slightly bigger, in a way that label's captions are not fully contained.
    * Pictures are smaller, or incorrectly sized
    * Some lines (line objects) are slightly displaced.

    Anyone has dealed with this before? What can I do?
    Thank you.

    PS: Since my software are already running, I can't do big changes, so please don't suggest things like 'do it all over again in vb.net'. It's an humongous software that took me 2 years.

    See Common High-DPI Issues.

    You can fix it but it's a lot ofwork.

    Waw, thank you! The real solution seems to be hard, (and all that code is in VB.net, I think). But at least, for now, I can bypass the problem by asking them to set the DPI to 100%.
