Pixelated tools and program?? — CS5 — Mac Book Pro

Question

I got a new computer, a macbook pro and installed my photoshop cs5 to it so that I can design again. The problem is, a few days later, the entire program is pixelated. All the tools, the wording and everything else without even opening up any files. Now, if I do open up a file it is also pixelated even tho it is not at all before opening. I have never had this happen before and it still has not gone back to normal. Please help

The problem is that the way things are setup is a bit confusing. Apple doesn't let us use the actual full resolution of 2880 x 1800, in relative size. So what they do is use the pixels, but use 4 vs 1, and thus they make the UI look like it would look as standard 1440 x 900 display. I have an old 15" and looking at both, the UI is the same relative size on the screen. However the retina is using more pixels to make the same physical size.

CS 5 UI is not designed to run correctly on the mac book pro
