Windows 7 Rejects Display Resolution Lower Than 600 Pixels

Users who are getting a new computer with the intention to install Windows 7 or Windows Vista Service Pack 2 need to ensure their display resolution is not lower than 600 pixels in height. Microsoft has lately revealed that if the display resolution is lower than 600 pixels vertically, Microsoft worries the DPI (Dots per Inch) Scaling will not function properly. The system will ignore the change request if users try to change the system DPI Scaling.

“When you change system DPI Scaling from “Control Panel > Personalization > Adjust font size (DPI)” on Windows Vista, or from “Control Panel > Display” on Windows 7, you may notice that the displayed font size does not change,” Microsoft has highlighted. “When the DPI Scaling change is requested by users, the system will check to see if the screen height is over 600 pixels. This is done to reduce the chance that dialogs and other user interface elements become inaccessible due to lack of screen real estate.”

To avoid unnecessary interruption and disturbance, it is advisable for users to look for devices especially Netbook with vertical screen resolutions not lower than 600 pixels in the event they want to install Windows 7 or Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    This feature should be in Ubuntu. When the screen is initially resized too small, the dialog boxes and forms do not fit on the screen. As a result, the user cannot click the OK or Cancel button because it is off the screen in Ubuntu.
