I hope someone can help me with this.

I recently installed Poser 11.3 to a new laptop with a much higher resolution screen than I had on my old machine. The display looks great, except that Poser menu items were so tiny that they were unusable. I fiddled with the UI preferences -- set to 2.5 and most of menus are readable. But many menu items dropped key descriptions, like below. All the rotation descriptions are missing. Can anyone suggest a fix?

I found a solution. It requires opening the Properties for Poser 11, then the Compatibility menu, then click the option for changing the high DPI settings, then overriding DPI options to allow the System (Enhanced) to set the DPI. Apparently, with high resolution displays, scaling the program is hard (I don't understand much of the gobbly-gook descriptions of this on the Internet), but this worked for me. It also fixed the problem of teeny-tiny menus and I could change the user interface back to 1 rather than 2.50 to read the menu items.
