I loaded Mach3 on a new Computer win7. Now I can only see 66% of the top of the fonts on all screens? I can't seem to reset the fonts to something smaller?
any Ideas
Thanks

Make sure your font setting in Windows is set to normal size.

I had similar problem.
18 pt Arial seems to work well
Installing Arial Narrow on the computer for labels, code and buttons might help (if it is not installed)
General config --> screen control. Turn off hi-res screens

HI
Never mind Got if figured out, I'm new to Win 7 so I'm still learning here. I have to reduce the text size % in the Win7 display settings. I dropped it from 125 to 120% at least I can still see it with these old eyes.Thanks guys.

You didn't do what I said, The issue is your Windows font size setting. It's not a resolution setting. Go to Control Panel in Windows, and click on Display. The fonts need to be set to 100% (Smaller setting).
You can't change the Font size in Mach3, even though it appears that you can. They are locked at 18.

I haven't been able to change size from 18, but can change font.
I select Arial Narrow, then immediately goto config, save settings then exit and restart Mach3
Looking at your screen, I think it is a crappy video driver scaling problem, as all vertical dimensions are squashed.
Try different video settings.
Aspect ratio options: full, no border, <<<-----
1366 x 768 or 1024 x 768.
Edit:
Gerry is correct.
Right click windows screen,Screen Resolution,
make text and other items larger or smaller
Select 100%
