Screen scaling/Accessibility.

odd...I'll go to my vista machine and check out ps2pdf.com.
Did this happen upon a reboot, or did it just do this today?

After some odd window behaviour just before downloading the pdf file which 
failed.
So it could well be ps2pdf.com but it might not have been the set of events 
was too confusing to tell.

Yes then after the four second turn off and restart the scaling took effect.

Thanks for the reply,

Aaron

I was hoping that someone would know how the hack was done.

It was via IE7, I was not using any odd sites, only ps2pdf.com google and
academic sites.

It must have altered the registery, "permanently" altering the screen
scaling.

Anyone who can give me a tip on readjusting the screen scaling gets 
cookie
points, as this would be very useful for a sight impaired friend of mine.

Hope this is is not excess traffic.
