I changed the display option to 125%. The problem is that in a number of programs (ie windows mail /tools /options) the “OK”, “CANCEL”,”APPLY” Buttons are now off the bottom of the screen. Everytime I want to change options I have to change the display back to 100%, loggoff and on again. change options. back to display change to 125% , loggoff and back on again. I use win7 home basic on a Dell netbook.

Cgarbutt,

It’s great that you are enjoying Windows 7 so much and that you included a great guide to help users feel more comfortable with it. Microsoft has a great resource called Talking About Windows — check it out, it’s pretty cool.
