10) Party tables don't fit inside their windows! (Occurs mostly in laptops.)

On high resolution laptops, the default DPI is sometimes set at 120 DPI instead of 96 DPI to make text and icons appear larger. This causes problems with Party tables and skins so change it back to 96 DPI by right-clicking on your Desktop, click on Properties, Settings tab, Advanced button, change DPI setting to 96, click on OK. Windows will ask you to restart your computer.


You didn't deserve helping, but oh well.

How can I make the text bigger. Its small everywhere. On the desktop icons, its small. On aol. On Party. Is this standard on 1920 resolution? I hope not, Im already blind.

I'm sorry to say this, but you really should've thought of this before buying a laptop... Even then, you can increase the system font size in the display control panel.

Can i buy some type of magnifying glass to put over my screen to make it bigger? no overlap on party tables is nice, but its sickly small.

If you set your laptop to 120 DPI text size, download the party beta software. It fixes the "screen" problem that exists with their crappy software.
