  1. absurdly small display


    I'm not sure if the stated topic best describes the issue I'm having, but first look at this:absurdly small display [​IMG]

    the problem I'm having here is best evidenced by the tiny tiny play/pause/rew/ff etc. icons at the bottom of the program display and the icon display inside the blue box at left. but really, everything is too small. i've not had this issue with this program and Windows compatibility before, just on this computer, an XPS 15 9550 Signature running Windows 10. how do I get the proper display ratio for this program? is it the driver? or is it some setting in Windows? thanks for any help in advance - this has been something I've been meaning to seek a remedy for for a long while.

  3. Some mouse pointers become very small

    This works. But oh, is the startup painfully slow. Not sure what is worse, the small pointers or the startup performance.
