Question

Display wrong (very tiny) in RoboHelp Classes after upgrading to new laptop w/Windows 10

I upgraded to a new laptop with Windows 10 (previously was using Windows 😎 and now the display in my RoboHelp Classic projects is very tiny and squished. I've tried adjusting the display in Scale and Layout Settings in System > Settings, but while the font can be increased, the display is still "off" and not really usuable. I've also tried changing settings in the RoboHelp > Properties > Compatibility menus, but success. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so, were you able to resolve it? Thanks.

Do you mean the Robohelp buttons and menus, etc? If so, then Classic doesn't really scale at all. I always set it to 100% despite having tiny text on certain monitors - I prefer that to the squished display when trying to use scaling.

 

If you mean the text of your topics, then there are some potential workarounds.

Workaround discovered.. I changed the resolution to 1024x768 and it now displays correctly. Not sure what "side effects" are or if there's a more recommended solution, but at least I can see my project now.
