    I have found that only the Manifest and registry setting mode (option E) works reliably. This is the technique that GP Power Tools automatically implements for you.

    RE: Font Size too small

    I have fixed this issue a few times myself. It happens because of some weird issue with the screen size, yada yada yada.

    The first option is to right click the GP icon (on your desktop or task bar) and then click Properties. Click the Compatibility Tab and there will be a lot of options. Click the Change DPI settings button. There should be like 2 options there. I would try each one individually and then both and see if that works. You have to log in and log out between each change for it to apply. This works 50%.

    When it does not work, there is a regedit change you can make that will fix it. You can find those instructions here: community.dynamics.com/.../display-and-font-issues-working-with-microsoft-dynamics-gp

    It is Option E. This normally fixes it when all other options have failed. It looks a little scary but is pretty simple. You have to reboot your workstation to get the changes to apply.

    This issue is very easily fixed with GP Power Tools. Infact just installing Build 29 fixes it.

    Plus there are many other benefits that all GP customer will want, See the Benefits Presentation below:

    Why not install and start the free 30 day trial period?
