Go up one level in this thread


There are some tools out there to make some problematic programs work properly
though (e.g. http://www.tweaks2k2.com/how_to/#doublepixeling ). Plus: If you own
a VGA PocketPC you should definitely also try out a program like ozVGA which
gives you a fully-fledged 640x480 display without the ridiculous restrictions
imposed by Microsoft (e.g. like sizing up icons and scrollbars to steal away the
4-fold real estate that VGA should give you over QVGA)
