Problem with FG 2 and screen DPI
I run FG on a 24" Dell Widescreen LCD monitor at 1920 by 1200 because of the size and resolution I tend to have the scree DPI (Display Properties (Settings Tab) > Advanced (General Tab) set to "Large (120 DPI)". Under this setting I can't get FG 2 to run.
When started the launch screen comes up:
- the banner doesn't reach across the full window
- the close button is segemented into 4 pieces with white cross through the middle of it
(both cosmetic issues caused by the DPI scaling I would assume)
- the beige box which says "Version 2.0 Welcome to Fantast Grounds II!" doesn't appear at all
- none of the buttons work (this is obviously the most serious bit)
Resetting the DPI back to 96 fixes the problem, but it's not a convenient fix because it means I have to restart my PC everytime I wish to run the program and again once I am finished in order to get my desktop back to a comfortable size.

Thats a reasonable screen. I run a dell 20". I'm probably going to move to 2 of them .
Its a joy to look at two pages of text when word processing. Drag and drop between windows is much easier with more screen.

Yep, also a lot better for working Photoshop and Dreamweaver, not to mention the immersion factor in online games like World of Warcraft.

The 24" Dells are also very nice for developing virtual tabletop software

Both Chuck Norris and the Association of Lumberjacks, Pirates and Ninjas agree: my 17" rocks. It rocks with sheer masculinity. Oh yes it does.
