Thank you very much! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a#4 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:13:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a#4 DisplayFusion Windows 8.1 seems to enable font scaling by default. We've fixed up support for it in the latest 5.1.1 beta, available here: http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/.

You can also disable the scaling in Windows 8.1 by doing the following:

• Right-click the desktop, choose Screen Resolution
• Click "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
• Drag the slider all the way to the left (all the way to "Smaller")
• Click Apply
• Restart your computer

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a#3 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 11:56:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a#3 DisplayFusion *bump* Anyone? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a#2 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 01:24:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a#2 DisplayFusion I should probably add that even when I change monitor settings with Windows that it gets very confused. The mouse cursor travels off the wrong edge of the screen (despite being configured correctly) and the wallpapers laid out properly (I'll get half of one wallpaper and half of another on one screen, and about a quarter of one wallpaper on the other screen).

I wouldn't at all be surprised if this is a Windows problem rather than a DisplayFusion problem, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to fixing all of this? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a Sun, 03 Nov 2013 12:07:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-81-error-when-switching-monitor-profiles/?ID=6ba8d660-16ac-4bdc-843b-c654b1064e3a DisplayFusion Ever since making the change to Windows 8.1 (from Windows 8 ), I have run into a fair amount of trouble with the monitor profiles I had set up. I had 2 profiles set up, and upon changing profiles, I get 2 dialogue boxes showing errors (below). After the profile change, I was also unable to change back to the original profile and had to resort to changing things back by right clicking on desktop and choosing 'Screen resolution'. Any ideas on how to fix this?
