Hey guys,
I just bought a new HP laptop (I'm heading off to college, and my custom desktop really won't fit in a dorm room) and I'm trying to get it set up in the same way that my home PC is configured. But when I turned on the laptop, I found that the text is slightly enlarged in some places--especially in Firefox, in right-click menus, and in some programs. I am guessing that this is due to certain programs not being 64-bit compatible, but frankly I have no idea (I'm transitioning from 32-bit to 64-bit). I haven't changed around any of the text size settings on either computer, although the desktop is 1920x1200 and the laptop is 1920x1080, if that might cause it...any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: I found that I was using the custom DPI scaling when trying to fix my problem, which was giving me font sizes that were still slightly too big...used "100%" and fixed it. Thank you for the assistance!
