The left image is a windows7 dekstop. The right image is a windows10 laptop.

This is on a brand new laptop:

Windows 10, Sharpcap 3.2.6480.

I tried changing resolution and text scaling to no avail.

Help.

And thanks.

I was able to fix the issue.

These are the exact steps, from my memory, that fixed the issue.

1) I went to Sharpcap.exe properties, Compatability tab, and Custom DPI settings.

2) I changed the Windows DPI settings to a "custom" 100%, and it asked me to sign out. I did.

3) I signed back in and everything was bigger on the desktop now. The custom DPI in Display properties was now 175% for some reason.

4) I set it back to recommended 125%, and now Sharpcap was working properly.

My guess is that Samsung somehow set a weird DPI setting that couldn't be changed to the right setting until like what I did.

Hi,

glad you found the fix. SharpCap does not handle high DPI perfectly yet (although I have fixed the particular problem you saw in SharpCap 4.0, which will be released in the next couple of months). I do hope to improve the high DPI support much more in the long term, but there is still a considerable amount of old parts of the code that need updating before I can tackle that problem.

cheers,

Robin
