Hi everyone , i need urgent assitance on this problem as i'm leaving in 2 days and wont be having an internet connection for the next 3 weeks :/
Ive recently purchased a new gen laptop with a haswell chip and Windows 8.1 ; the screen is amazing with a resolution of 3200*1800 but the problem is when running certain programs. Sometimzs icons appear as tiny and text is hardly readable, how do i fix this without reverting back to a 1920*1080 resolution ?

quick edit : and how do i make sure that my programs open at the center of the screen and not to the far right ?

Thank you for your time :)
 
increase the text dpi in the display settings. there should be a setting for icon sizes too. you can zoom in chrome and firefox with control + scroll

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display and here you can set a zoom level globally in windows
