HI
I just have a new PC with window 7 home 64 bit and i use a Dell 2410 ultrasharp monitor at 1920 x1200 resolution
But PWP 5 and 6 (64 bit) only displays 1280 x 800 resolution and are very soft and blur'y and its realy not usable for photo editing !!
no other program has this issue and i can see no where to change resolution within PWP..if anyone can help to get my normal crisp picture back i'd be very appreciative i did not have this problem on my old XP PC
thanks
Alan Jones

PWP does not change the screen resolution. Under Help About PWP it displays the current screen resolution.

Hi
I had this phenomonon occur again but now know what causes it..incase anyone else gets this problem i'm sharing this FYI
the problem occured after i went to
1.Screen resolution (right click option when on destop window)
2.there is an option "make text or other items larger or smaller"
100% 125% 150%
the problem occurs when you select 150% option (only 100% and 125% OK)
both canon zoom brower and picture window only display at 1280 x 800 and are very blurrey
change back to 125% or 100% and resolution is back to 1920 x1200 !!!
don't ask me why it does this but i had just done that change to 150% before i opened PWP and got blurry pics again and figured it out !
