Greetings!
I have a visual impairment that requires me to use a big screen (20" LCD)
and to increase the DPI setting ind Display/Propeties/Settings/Advanced. I
have been using 144 DPI/150%. Yesterday, a new driver was offered by Windows
update that I faithfully downloaded. It did resolve another obscure issue I
had, but for some reason the DPI adjustment no longer works. It shows the
expansion when I select, but after rebbot any setting goes back to normal,
despite showing the higher setting in display properties.

Any suggestions?
 
uninstall the microsoft provided update and in the future only rely on updates direct from ATI .

additionally to other remark.
you might use Display options, Appearance to increase font size.
and/or
Accessibility options to increase fonts appropriately.

Thanks Mike...
I have used the Extr-Large font size to compensate, but it doesn't work in
all applications.
I'll try reloading the ATI version of the driver.
