XP style scaling is indeed available in W7 but visually it does not work at 150% when comparing it to say 125%, which seems to be the threshold for this feature. Thank you all for trying to help me out. Guess, I'll just have to get used to all of this somehow and not ruin my eyes in the process.
CSMR, you are right. The reason it is fuzzy is precisely because XP style scaling is not supported at 150%.
Super56K, I've just set it to 125% with XP style on. Adjusting ClearType hasn't changed anything. I'll try to get used to it but immediately the eye strain is huge. Although it's not IPS...
Have you used 15 inch screens too? This is the main point. High resolution on a small screen makes text almost illegible. You would need to squint, which is a sure way to blindness. As ViRGE said above, Windows DPI management is awful, which is probably why everything (not just text) appears...
Seems like it was a bad idea to go for a FHD panel on a 15" laptop. I'm curious as to how others are coping. Almost all new laptops are coming out with 1920x1080 native resolution.
Having used my new laptop for a day, my eyes hurt a lot. This is thanks to 1920x1080 on 15". Even the 150% zoom in W7 does not save me as text is not crisp enough, whereas some soft disregards the setting altogether. I have tried other resolution/zoom combinations and none seem to be adequate...
Is there a way to avoid wiping a hidden partition that contains laptop recovery software, including Windows? By the way, could DBAN be booted from a USB stick?
Didn't record the code back then. All I have now is the following from manifest.txt
HeaderText=The system has recovered from a serious error.

If this...
If you are referring to a picture of the actual BSOD, it is impossible. Computer restarts right after. Perhaps, someone could find the cause by analyzing the dump.
Haven't thought about all the Vaio soft and there is loads of it. Looks like cloning the old drive would be the only easy option. Thanks for your insight once again.
I realize that members of this forum may not be the kind to waste money on AIO PCs. Perhaps, someone had experience upgrading storage for someone else?
Has anyone opened one? How easy is it to perform such a task. I'm particularly interested in a possibility of upgrading a Vaio AIO. This is for someone else and I have never seen or been near an AIO before.
Sorry for not being clear to start with. This is for backup. 500GB will be enough. Portability is important. Which of the drives in the My Passport range shall I go for then?
It probably is WD My Passport but what model? There are Elements, Essential, Elite, Edge, Studio, Enterprise and the one without an extra name. Does capacity affect reliability? And which one is currently the best value?
