JennMaughan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Recently got my expensive laptop back from the manufacturer from repairs and noticed discrepancies in the Autoit Window Info program between my two computers. I usually use the Window Info to help program scripts that I use for teaching Geometry. I noticed that the magnify on my cheap computer works perfectly, but on my newly returned computer it seems the magnify area is displaying down one inch from where the crosshairs actually are. Why would this be? I checked settings in window info program on both computers, and they are the same. Confuzzled. Jenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 28, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2017 JennMaughan, Almost certainly the returned machine has had it DPI settings changed. AutoIt and its tools are not DPI aware and so the coordinates are slightly off when the setting is not 100%.

JennMaughan Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Is it possible it is because it is a high resolution monitor? What dpi is it use to using? Edited January 28, 2017 by JennMaughan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 28, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2017 JennMaughan, Indeed. I think you will find that the DPI is set to 125% - that seems to be the norm for hi-res monitors these days. Your older machine is probably set to 100%. There are a several threads about this on the forum.
