DPI question

Ok, sorry that I am bringing this up, but I just finished reading the forum for answers and can't seem to find what I need.  I have a 5150, love it.  The fonts are a little small.  I am at 96 DPI.  When switching to 120 DPI, the taskbar icons are garbled and blurred.  Is there anything, other than going to 96 DPI to resolve the garbled icons at 120 DPI?  If not, I can live with it, but if someone has a resolution, please let me know.

    Captainjy,

    You dont have to live with fuzzy icons! I had the same problem, icons on taskbar and on submenus (start->all programs) were fuzzy when swithging to 120 dpi. The solution took me a lot of trial and error, here it goes:

    Go to Display Properties, Appearance, Advanced, Select the "Caption Buttons" Item from the drop down, and reduce the size until you get a crisp/sharp icon. Size 24 worked for me. Icons get smaller but they are still very viewable and not fuzzy!

    Hope this helps, let us now!
