There have been several posts on app compat and high DPI (for example bluvg’s comment).  There have also been comments talking about the complexity and understandability of the High DPI configuration.  I thought I would send a quick note explaining some of this.

In some cases the app compat issues can be mitigated by enabling or disabling the automatic scaling feature.  This can be changed globally by going to the DPI UI, clicking the button labeled “Custom DPI” and changing the checkbox labeled, “Use Windows XP style DPI scaling”.  When this checkbox is unchecked, applications which are not declared to be DPI aware are automatically scaled by DWM.  When it is checked, automatic scaling is disabled globally.  It is interesting to note that for DPI settings < 144 DPI, this box is checked by default, and for DPI settings >= 144 it is unchecked by default.  In some cases, changing the default settings can result in a better experience depending on the applications that you use and your DPI setting.

It is also interesting to note that automatic scaling can be turned off on a per application basis using the Vista Program Compatibility Por.  Here is a link for more info on how to do that:

Look at the section for “Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings”.

Also, ScottL, you should check out IE8 beta.  They have done a ton of work with the scaling feature and making layout work better when zoomed.
