Setting Default Magnification in Screen Output

Hi there, 

I am just wondering how to change the default magnification for the screen output on reports. 

The screen output for reports used to default to 100% but now is only at 50% and manually has to be changed if we want to just read the report on screen rather than printing it. If we choose to physically print it - it prints correctly at 100%. 

We are using version Dynamics 9.00.0267

    Great - thanks so much. Just a note that our Dynamics is located on a terminal server so I had to use the administrative login for the terminal server to be able to change the Dex.ini file. Worked perfectly though.

    Take a look at your Dex.ini file. Chances are, you have the following entry in it: MagnifyScreenOutput=50. You can change the magnification to 100% or simply remove the line, which will return the magnification to its default value of 100%
