- Open the Screen Resolution dialog by right-clicking the desktop and clicking Screen Resolution.
- Click the 'Make text and other items larger or smaller' link.
- Select the 'Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays' check box.
- Select 'Smaller - 100%'.

Under investigation.
More Information:
This incompatibility alsoaffects dialogs and graphics, for example splash window.
Only 'Smaller - 100%' is supported, 'Medium - 125%', 'Larger - 150% and 'Extra Large - 200%' all result in incompatibility problems to some extent.
This is an issue mainly for Windows 8 and later and due to the increase from 96 dpi in the default settings.
