LIMOWIZ program does not display correctly on new Windows 7 PC
We bought a new Dell Inc. Inspiron 660 running Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 for a limo company. They run a program called LimoWiz 2013 - Version 12.3.9.
The problem is that on the Windows 7 PC, using the old monitor that was on another Windows XP Pro PC:
Intel(R) HD Graphics [Display adapter]
DELL E177FP [Monitor] (17.1"vis, s/n XX-0WH318-XXXXX-728-5TEL, February 2007)
One of the managers uses GoToMyPC to remotely connect to the new Windows 7 and run LIMOWIZ. LIMOWIZ displays fine. The columns, font, spacing, etc are fine.
But when you look at LIMOWIZ on the new Windows 7 PC with the old monitor, the screens do not display correctly. For example, the size of the font is too small, too many lines of data are displayed making the font smaller and hard to read.
I changed the display size from 1280x1024 to 1024x768. LIMOWIZ seems to look better, but then all the rest of the windows applications are blown out of proportion.
I have right clicked on the LIMOWIZ icon and clicked on properties and changed the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 2, but still the LIMOWIZ programs displays incorrectly.
I have called LIMOWIZ tech support and no changes were made to the application. They say it is a Windows 7 issue.
Is there a way to get LIMOWIZ to display correctly and the rest of the windows applications? If I configure it so that LIMOWIZ displays semi correctly, the rest of the programs have to use scroll bars to move up and down and left and right.

that is always a good option to try.
the display settings are less of an issue. XP mode along with or without the aero desktop mode may also be something to try.
When GoToMyPc is loaded it disables all aero and extended desktop video settings, and I suspect that is what we have to get to.

Thank you for the assistance. I am still having the problem. Decided to try to use another monitor and see how that goes.

Should I change the compatibility to XP PRO?
Or change some other display configuration and do what you suggested? Or should I have just made the one you suggested and left the rest as be?
