I have CS2 running on a PC with the CRT running at 1280×1024. With the default font settings text under icons, etc, is much too small, on-screen. Setting the font to custion 125% (from memory) works nicely for me.
When I go into CS2 and look at a form panel such as File Info, text in user typable fields is much larger than the vertical space CS2 thinks it needs, by about half. The lower half of the text is chopped off.
Any suggestions?

This recently was discussed in one of the Adobe forums. A brief quote:
The problem should only be present when using an old "Windows Classic" theme
while also setting the monitor resolution to "Large 120dpi". Until we can provide
a fix, the only solution is to either use a standard Windows XP theme or use
the "Normal 96dpi" resolution setting.
Using an XP theme would be kind of hard since it’s an W2K machine 🙂
TNX. At least I know it’s not a menu choice that is right in front of me, which is usually what happens when I have a question like this.
FWIW XP does not have this issue, I use hi res and large fonts and PS menus look fine
Long time no see Al D>> it may be time for an upgrade win 2k is so inferior to XP it’s not even a comparison
you have old software you need on 2k?
if not treat yourself to a new OS
not ready to get Vista just yet myself
will wait a while until more drivers are available and kinks worked out
you say you changed the font only manually? have you tried the overall change using the properties>appearance for the entire display at the default "large font setting" in the drop down??
Thanks. I see stuff in the Appearance panel I never noticed before.
As far as W2K goes, I use XP on any machine its on. W2K does everything I need to do and I can’t, offhand, think of anything that would push me to XP unless some driver wasn’t available in W2K. I use or work on too many machines to get religious about any OS later than W98/NT4. When you know them well enough, they all s*ck. just in different ways.
I’ll deal with Vista when I have to, but no sooner. Unless I need to use something like PS, my default is some flavor of Unix.
