AOL 9.0 in Vista ---- font sze problem

Windows Vista25
Compare two systems:

1) XP Pro on a Acer Laptop

AOL 9.0 (SE)

15" LCD display -- either 1450x1050 or 1680x1050 --32 bit color

IE "text size" set at "medium"

Display fonts set at "normal"

AOL fonts set to large "where possible"



2) Vista Home Premium on an e-machines desktop

AOL 9.0 (VR)

21" LCD display -- 1680x1050 -- 32 bit color

IE test size set at "larger"

Display fonts : Vista has a DPI setting: 96 or 120

AOL software objects to 120 -says designed for 96 --so set at 96

AOL fonts set at large "where possible"



In the first system there are no problems with AOL.

In both systems the fonts "native" to the AOL software are fine and

easily read.

In the Vista system forwarded e-mail is quite readable and fonts are

fine.

However, the names that appear on the "buddies" list have a font size so

small

they it is unreadable. And incoming mail directly from the writer has

fonts

so small they are essentially unreadable. Experimentation (sending mail

to myself

from another system in various fonts) shows that the Vista system is

reducing

the fnt size by 4 or 5 sizes. i.e. sent in size 10 appears at about size

5 or 6.



Any fix? Or is it an inherent conflict with AOL 9.0 and Vista

AOL help had none--- suggested a resolution of 640x480 on the 21"

screen!!!

I thought I had seen stupid things before but using Vista AND AOL? That

takes the cake. All you need to do now to complete the mess is add

Semantec to the install.

Symantec. Oops.
