Large DPI-Not Working In 5.3?-Where Can I Find Old Drivers?

popeye · Mar 9, 2005, 11:21 PM

Installed ATI 5.3 drivers. I can't get the large DPI to work. Icons and print is small or in normal mode. Am I missing something? I can't get it to work. Reinstalled 5.2 drivers I had before and get the large DPI. Everything large now. Is it me or is it buggy? Should I wait for another version? Thanks.

Will have to try that when I get home. Will keep you updated if I experience the same.

Same here with DPI problem & icons on Desktop refuse to line up as before. Using CCC ver of Cat 5.3. With the non-CCC ver, the menu for options in CP is corrupted, e.g., so I went to the CCC ver.

Many have reported this, let's hope a fix will come soon. On the positive side, performance is excellent, maybe slightly better than 5.2.

i installed the cp version when this happened, think i will try the ccc version to see if same occurs.

CCC 5.3 no problems with setting font size to normal or large. Everything works as expected.

Excuse the ignorance, but what is the ccc version? Is that the one with Net Frame? Why would I install Net Frame on my computer with Windows XP Pro? Thanks.
