The internet gives us so many amazing things: adorable kitten videos, snarky memes, and a FIX that really works to the large DPI issue with Act!! Thanks to ADS Programming Services and Stan Smith for digging up this little nugget and sharing.…
Ya know how we know that the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is a hot new device? Because we get support calls about getting act! to work on it just about daily. Santa did bring one to our house this Christmas, so we’ve been able to play a bit, and grab a few screen shots to help you Surface Pro 3 users get your act! together. (Insert cheesy comedy drums here a la buh dum dum.)
The Surface Pro 3 touts itself as the tablet that can replace your laptop. Well, maybe. It is fast, with it’s Windows 8.1. That’s one thing to consider when setting up your act! on the device. Can your version of act! run on Windows 8.1. You do need act! 2013 or newer. (Don’t have a version that new? We’re happy to help with upgrades!) Installing act! on the Surface Pro 3 isn’t so much the issue. The calls we get are about the dialog boxes, field labels and anything else font related being, well. . . screwy. Let’s look at why and how to work around that.
