dpi error

Question

I tried to change the dpi but made it too large.  I cannot scroll to the bottom of the page because it's so big and I can't change it back.  How can I fix the problem?

Hi Zazubotts,

Try to change the DPI to default.

1. Open Personalization by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Personalization.
2. In the left pane, click Adjust font size (DPI). If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. In the DPI Scaling dialog box, do one of the following:
   • To increase the size of text and other items on the screen, click Larger scale (120 DPI)–make text more readable, and then click OK.
   • To decrease the size of text and other items on the screen, click Default scale (96 DPI)–fit more information, and then click OK.

To see the changes, close all of your programs, and then restart Windows.

Hi,

Use System Restore back to a point before you did that.

Start - Control Panel - Backup and Restore Center - upper left Repair Windows

You could also try booting into Safe Mode and set the DPI. Repeatedly tap F8 as you boot.

Hope this helps.
